Hi Scott.
Thanks for the help! Appricate the feedback.
I reset the dovecot.conf. Here's the output of dovecot -n now:
#
# 1.1.2: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf
base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/
log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log
ssl_disable: yes
disable_plaintext_auth: no
login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login
login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
auth default:
verbose: yes
passdb:
driver: pam
userdb:
driver: passwd
#
I'm still getting the same error as before:
ovecot: Sep 17 12:42:43 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<wfoatst>, method=PLAIN,
rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured
dovecot: Sep 17 12:42:43 Error: IMAP(wfoatst): mail_location not set and
autodetection failed: Mail storage autodetection failed with
home=/var/mail/wfoatst
dovecot: Sep 17 12:42:43 Fatal: IMAP(wfoatst): Namespace initialization failed
Any more thoughts?

You need to fix your mail location setting;
see http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation

Since you are also setting mail location here with home setting, you are
probably resolving to /var/mail/%u/var/mail/%u

You hope everybody uses it, and
you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
