Running Debian Wheezy 64bit on a 500MB RAM Droplet. All the accounts redirect to root and root redirects to an external email via /etc/aliases - this is all good and working. I now need to additional email accounts: daily and mike. I've created the users but am facing the problem that the emails for root were located in /var/mail (no longer apparently, the root file in there now has 0 as size) and the new accounts have their email inside /home/mike but both daily and mike have this fodler structure:

root@server:/home/daily# ls -al
total 32
drwxr-xr-x 4 daily daily 4096 Jun 13 14:31 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root  root  4096 Jun 12 06:45 ..
drwx------ 2 daily daily 4096 Jun 13 14:29 Mail
drwx------ 5 daily daily 4096 Jun 13 14:31 Maildir

Mail is empty though.

root@server:/home/daily# ls -al Maildir/
total 20
drwx------ 5 daily daily 4096 Jun 13 14:31 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 daily daily 4096 Jun 13 14:31 ..
drwx------ 2 daily daily 4096 Jun 13 14:31 cur
drwx------ 2 daily daily 4096 Jun 18 03:33 new
drwx------ 2 daily daily 4096 Jun 18 03:33 tmp 

So it looks like mails are getting delivered into Maildir/ but checking from terminal:

root@server:/home/daily# su mike
mike@server:/home/daily$ mail
No mail for mike

Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm running postfix and dovecot. No virtual users, only these two I've mentioned are needed...
