You cannot arbitrarily rename or change the mail delivery location for users.
If you use mbox style mailboxes then the mailbox is called mbox in the users' home directory.
If you want to use Maildirs then you will first have to set this up correctly, and then make the maildir, by running (as the user):
| Code: | | maildirmake ~/Maildir |
Just changing the configuration for Postfix is not enough.

where does maildirmake come from, please?
from your post, it sounds like I should expect it to be installed as part of emerge postfix, but I don't see it anywhere. |

I have it on my machine
| Code: | geoffrey@lessy> qpkg -fp maildirmake
net-mail/courier-imap *
net-mail/maildrop * |
It comes from maildrop for example
