Getting closer : Postfix + Dovecot on Ubuntu 14.04lts configuration

[Keith Smith]

Hi,

I am making progress.  I configured Thunderbird like the tutorial shows 
:  http://www.krizna.com/ubuntu/setup-mail-server-ubuntu-14-04/  it is 
about half way down the page.

Ports 110 and 587

I was able to send to an email account on another server.

When that account replies the email goes out like normal.

/var/log/mail.log  there is about 100 lines added (I set 
smtpd_tls_loglevel = 4 so I could see everything)  these are the very 
last lines

Oct 11 13:58:01 My-Host-name-goes-here postfix/smtpd[6467]: disconnect 
from Sending-FQDN-goes-here[IP-goes-here]
Oct 11 13:58:01 My-Host-name-goes-here postfix/local[6474]: 243C790093E: 
to=<myname at my-domain.com>, relay=local, delay=0.16, 
delays=0.12/0/0/0.03, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to maildir)
Oct 11 13:58:01 My-Host-name-goes-here postfix/qmgr[6269]: 243C790093E: 
removed

Looks like it was delivered locally.

There is no email in /home/user-name/Maildir/new

My home directory is 755 and owned by me.
Maildir is 700 and owned by me
new is 700 and owned by me

When I use Thunderbird to retrieve email, Thunderbird cycles with no 
error and no messages are in my inbox.

/var/log/mail.log has two lines:

Oct 11 13:53:07 My-Host-name-goes-here dovecot: pop3-login: Login: 
user=<my-use-rname-goes-here>, method=PLAIN, rip=my-gatway-ip, 
lip=ip-of-the-box, mpid=6464, TLS, session=<a9RWZtohsADAqBQB>
Oct 11 13:53:07 My-Host-name-goes-here dovecot: 
pop3(my-use-rname-goes-here): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, 
retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0

It looks like everything is working except the delivery of the email 
into my mail box /home/user-name/Maildir/new

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks!!
Keith
