I know postfix better than sendmail so I dumped sendmail and dropped 
in postfix on my mailserver and it "just worked" (tm) with dovecot.  
That got me to thinking, do they store mail in a different locations?

I took a peek at my /etc/dovecot.conf and saw something that might 
help.  Try the maildir: or mbox: settings around line 184 or so in 
the provided dovecot.conf file.

Examples are provided and explained in the conf file.


Dovecot does some auto-detection magic, but might need to be told the 
specific location of your mail.

It's something that should "just work" (tm) on a default 
configuration/setup.  _Please_ file a bug report if you find it 
necessary to modify the default dovecot.conf file to get things 
working with the a default sendmail config.  It makes life easier for 
us all when developers actually know about broken things so they can 
fix them. :-)

Happy hacking!
