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

I have pasted the output of "dovecot -n"
