[Dovecot] openbsd + dovecot not downloading emails

[GVG GVG]

here is my new doveconf-n:

------------------
# 2.0.17 (684381041dc4+): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: OpenBSD 5.1 i386
auth_debug_passwords = yes
auth_verbose = yes
auth_verbose_passwords = sha1
mail_debug = yes
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
mbox_write_locks = fcntl
mmap_disable = yes
passdb {
  driver = bsdauth
}
ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/dovecotcert.pem
ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem
userdb {
  driver = passwd
}
verbose_ssl = yes
protocol imap {
  imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep tb-lsub-flags
}
protocol pop3 {
  pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh
}
------------------------

now the retrieving pop-up window gets closed almost immediately but no
messages get downloaded! Also the detailed debigging doesn't show any extra
info in the log! The only info that I still get is:

--------------------------
Jul 31 15:16:23 [myserver] dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user>,
method=PLAIN, rip=x.x.x.x, lip=x.x.x.x, mpid=26976, TLS
---------------------------

Thanks
