I get this error in my log


May  6 20:33:00 craftboard dovecot: IMAP(support.perlygates.com): mail_location: maildir: Unknown setting: mbox
May  6 20:33:00 craftboard dovecot: IMAP(support.perlygates.com): Fatal: Namespace initialization failed

I'm not sure what mbox is.  But I am using the Maildir/ in conf file
Where is mbox set at?
