Mail for user stored in /root/Maildir/new when user has separate directory

Hello,

I’ve been search for a fix, and here I am.

I have recently setup a vps with webmin/virtualmin and created user “sales” for mail receiving along with few other users. However, for sales, it seems that there are no mails received in roundcube or virtualmin’s Read User Mail section. I tested sending mail TO sales, but it doesn’t show up, however sending mail FROM sales works just fine. The account used to send mail (Gmail & Zoho) TO sales shows successful delivery.

I looked in /var/log/procmail.log and this is the line I find for the user “sales”, it is linked to /root/Maildir/new

Where as for another user “aaryan” it is correctly linked to user’s directory:

I have deleted the user and re-created it, but the error still persists. I need help to correctly link to the user’s maildir location.

I looked that I will have to run cron job to shift the mails, but is there any other way to solve this problem? Also, can anybody help to setup the cron job if there isn’t a way to fix this.
