Could you check that there's a symlink to 'ups-tex' within 'Free'? It seems that that is needed, because from the docs: For each of your ‘nnmaildir’ servers (it's very unlikely that you'd need more than one), you need to create a directory and populate it with maildirs or symlinks to maildirs (and nothing else; do not choose a directory already used for other purposes). --
