Hi
Am running debian etch + exim4 + dovecot 1.0.rc15-2etch with both an IMAP
and a POP3 server
The issue is when i try and get my mail using the IMAP protocol outlook
gives and error "cannot find Inbox on 192.0.0.1"
its happens with thunderbird and with Kmail -
I assume i have misconfigured it some how and my mail is set to "mail_spool"
in Exim4
[dovecot -n output trimmed]
Sorry for the noise about the obfuscated IP address.
It sounds like you have exim set to deliver mail to /var/mail/(username).
Then you should set in your dovecot.conf:
mail_location = mbox:/var/mail/%u
Or, if you want other mbox folders to appear in ~/mail:
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
For full details, see: http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation
Best,
Ben
