Heh, yes, err, I realized that after sending the question. Let me ask it this way then:
1.) am I using IMAP? and how do I test that it's working. 2.) I can connect to the IMAP server, dovecot-imapd, on localhost?
I want to read these messages with Thunderbird, and enter "localhost" to "download" the e-mails.
thanks,
Thufir

Why is dovecot using Maildir and not IMAP. Or is it using even using Maildir at all?
? Maildir is a way of *storing* emails.
IMAP is a protocol used by mail server *applications*, for providing *access* to email *clients* that speak the IMAP protocol.
Now... maybe you can rephrase the question? ;)
