Can you try connecting through IMAP/SSL, creating a new mailbox, copying
a test mail message into it, and then (through a normal login) seeing
where on the machine the message turns up? Something like
find /home -mtime -1
would be interesting, or even
find /home -mtime -1 -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep "something in your e-mail"
where "something in your e-mail" is something you *know* was in that test
mail message?

I suspect Dovecot isn't looking for mailboxes where you think it's
looking.

Hope this helps,

James.
