I have been using maildrop successfully for Maildir delivery. I recommend to also look at the man pages for maildropfilter (in older installations, see man maildroprc instead), and perhaps maildropex. Look for the description for the DEFAULT variable, and look whether your Postfix rig is running in delivery mode (-d ... on maildrop's command line). (Personally, when my mail servers were running some medium-sized traffic loads, and things were still running from hard disk drives (pre-SSD), I switched from Courier-IMAP to Dovecot and use its local delivery agent on some of my setups, but Dovecot comes with its own complex configuration, so I suggest to not do that before you've fixed your delivery to Maildir.) > > But maybe I should simply try and remove courier-maildrop, and see > what happens. Before you go skeet shooting blindfolded, better figure out what the delivery mechanisms really are. In doubt, postconf -n shows the nondefault main.cf parameters, and postconf -M shows the master.cf parameters. maildrop might be called from a transport as well if you're using a mailbox transport. Without a complete list of nondefault configuration options, however, it's all just a big ugly riddle that no-one is keen on solving. So if you can't figure it out for yourself, please post those, and /etc/maildroprc and a user's .mailfilter, if any.
