Considering all information you have provided something definitely is wrong.

Let's start from beginning, do you have a valid MX record?

Resolved!
Problem was procmail
/etc/procmailrc file was missing.
procmailrc must have:
VERBOSE=yes
# Now run as the recipient user
# DROPPRIVS=yes
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/cur
# Use a seperate directory to store reciepes and logs
PMDIR=$HOME
# Tell procmail where to put the log file
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/procmail.log
this tells the procmail to move received mails to:
/home/user/Maildir/cur
so courier-imap and squirrelmail can reach the mails
ps. sorry about my bad english
