Hi James, thanks for the quick reply.

I'm using maildir and my understanding (from reading dovecot.conf) is  
that default_mail_env is replaced by mail_location.  My mail_location  
setting is:

mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir

I think I don't need to specify INBOX when using maildir, right?

Again, thanks,
- -Barry
