I fixed this by opening my postfix main.cf file: sudo nano /etc/postfix/main.cf and adding the following to the end of the file: home_mailbox = Maildir/ and restarting postfix. sudo /etc/init.d/postfix reload sudo systemctl restart postfix At that point running echo 'init' | mail -s 'init' -Snorecord my_username returned Can't canonicalize "/home/my_username/Maildir" but when I ran ls -R ~/Maildir The mail directory was there!! Success!!Hope this helps future mail pioneers.~ Gifford
