Hi Barry,
I'm not 100% sure really. I am new to dovecot as well. I am using
the up2date rpm for RHLE3, as I just got this server running and
didn't have a lot of time to run with the latest, so the version I
use is a little older, but from what I understand mail_location uses
the same syntax as default_mail_env. When I tried not defining
INBOX, it didn't work the way I wanted it too. I don't know if the
newer version is better at handling that or not.

This is what I used to get Mail.app to work with dovecot. Just
modify the paths to match your system. Keep your mail prefix
empty in the Account settings.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,
