What are the permissions of your /var/vmail directory? Does it belong to vmail:vmail?
Or try: "su -s /bin/sh vmail" and try to read or create files in /var/vmail/...

Gentlemen,
You want to check your email client settings.
In looking at what you provided I see that dovecot is trying to stat /var/vmail/frank/Maildir
and your Maildir location is actually /var/vmail/kahle.net/frank/Maildir
When you provided your logon credentials did you use:
Username: Frank
Domain: kahle.net
or Username: frank@kahle.net
Domain: kahle.net
Remember when the system is setup that the username passed to dovecot is the whole.
So when we test we ask for john@example.com and not john.
Check your email client settings and I think you will fix your issue.
