I have dovecot-0.99.10.5 on Fedora Core 2 installed and otherwise operating
using Maildir format for the folders, Kmail as the email client. Got through
all the ssl and other security configuration fine, but have one last problem:
I can't read the incoming mail from /var/spool/mail/%u. Tried several
'default_mail_env' settings, including none at all, to no avail. When I try
to check in new mail to the inbox, the only messages are "Transmission
Complete, no new messages" Tried this setting for example:
default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u
but to no avail. Is something getting cocked up because the folders are all in maildir format and the incoming mail spool is in mbox format? I checked permissions, they seem ok. Kmail can pull the messages in just fine to its local folder inbox, it just seems that dovecot can't read the mail spool file for some reason. All the other maildir folders work fine. ?????????
