Postfix - Dovecot | Mail received in the logs but nothing in my mails on the client

Good morning,

I recently installed a Postfix Dovecot mail server on my server, the sending of mail works well, but when I receive it, in the logs /var/log/mail.log I see that the mail coming from outside has arrived, but when I update the received mails (in imap) on my Thunderbird client, nothing new...

May 21 16:59:16 mail postfix/smtpd[12020]: CB2B55C07FF: client=mail-vs1-f42.google.com[209.85.217.42]

smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtpd_use_tls = yes

For information, the mails arrive well in the folder /home/quentin/Maildir So I think it's just a dovecot configuration problem but I don't know where if it's the case...

Do you have any idea where the problem might be coming from?

Thank you in advance!

In this file:

/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf

I changed that setting 

mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

for

mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir

Problem solved :D
