So I just set up a little mail server on my VPS and it is sending mail just fine! The problem comes when it receives mail. The logs indicate that it retrieves the message, removes it from the queue and delivers it, but it never shows up!

Log:

There do not appear to be any errors.

Simple fix for those who need it. I had to change:

mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

to

mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir

in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf

Simple fix. Silly mistake.
