Hi I have been dumped with all this and I am at a loss

I am getting the error:
mail_location not set and autodetection failed: Mail storage autodetection failed with home=/home/

I searched google and it tells me to add this line to the dovecot.conf file
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u


This is already in the dovecot.conf file:
#
# mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
# mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
# mail_location = mbox:/var/mail/%d/%1n/%n:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%1n/%n
#

The permissions look right on the file in the /home/:
drwxr-xr-x.

However still getting the error and just don't know what else I can do to sort this - any help would be very much appreciated

Many thanks

Luke
