Best regard to all.
You must send an email first to that user before you can fetch mails. Maildir is created when the first email arrives. BTW, the username must be an email address, so pedro won't work. There seems to be a problem with the permissions. What's the output of Code: ls -la /var/spool/postfix ? Is SELinux disabled? Please compare all your configuration files with the ones from the tutorial, there must be an error in one of your files. Also check the format of the files, the format matters.
