Need some help with a basic email server setup

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: <pre> 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 </pre> Mail is empty though. <pre> 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 </pre> So it looks like mails are getting delivered into Maildir/ but checking from terminal: <pre> root@server:/home/daily# su mike mike@server:/home/daily$ mail No mail for mike </pre> Any ideas on how to fix this? I’m running postfix and dovecot. No virtual users, only these two I’ve mentioned are needed…
