    Hello. Were following its tutorial of the howto about postfix (http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier_ubuntu_edgy ), however I am having some difficulties.

    You must send an email first to a new account before you try to fetch mails. Maildir is created when the first mail arrives.
