For what it's worth, this is happening to me on a fresh installation of CentOS 5 and Virtualmin - started with 3.57 and then upgraded to 3.58 about a day later.

What was the solution, this started happening to me out of no where for only one of my accounts.

Hrm, that's an odd error to get for just one account.

What output do you get when running this:

grep '^mail_location' /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

And are you sure that user isn't over quota?

Hi Andreychek, I resolved the issue by simply creating the exact same password again. The problem seemed to occur once the user reached the quota and then after I increased the quote to unlimited.

Unrelated, I have another post I need some help with (http://www.virtualmin.com/node/11425)
