have you set these?
    * imap_server_type = dovecot
    * default_folder_prefix = none (is set to empty string)
    * trash_folder = Trash
    * sent_folder = Sent
    * draft_folder = Drafts
    * show_prefix_option = false
    * default_sub_of_inbox = false
    * show_contain_subfolders_option = false
    * optional_delimiter = detect
    * delete_folder = false
    * force_username_lowercase = true
sorry - pulled from:
http://squirrelmail.org/docs/admin/admin-13.html#ss13.9

sounds to me like dovecot and postfix are both configured to use /home/$user/Maildir and squirrelmail is configured to look in /var/mail or something...
where should i set them?
http://squirrelmail.org/docs/admin/admin-5.html#ss5.1
config.php - just need to find out where it is...
seems like all of sets are ok.Squirrel made them automatically.
hmmm?? where is the problem.....
when you say all mail goes under /var/mail... are you seeing mailboxes being created there?
Also can you please load up your logs for me to see, postfix, dovecot and squirrelmail.

still sounds to me like something is looking in the wrong place...
Thanks Barrulus
I will send them today.
inside /var/mail/username but does username is not folder ,it is just text file which all my emails writen in it.
when i take a new email ,This email writen in this username txt file.
if the mail is in var/mail/$user then there is a dovecot configuration error on the path...

I need the dovecot logs...
