Just because it's in your postfix config doesn't necessarily mean that
the directory is actually there. Go into your home directory and verify
that you do, in fact, have a Maildir directory there. IIRC, courier does
not create Maildirs for users by default. You have to do it manually. So
check to make sure that you do, in fact, have a Maildir and if not, make
one using maildirmake.
