Just to end the thread: I kept having problems after changing what seemed obvious in /etc/exim/exim.conf (This file comments say to uncomment "maildir_format"). I found the solution at http://talk.trekweb.com/~jasonb/articles/exim_maildir_imap.shtml Thanks to Todd Pytel and Igor Stroh for the help given.
