Oh ok. subscriptions huh? Wouldn't they just create new ones if... nevermind. I have no ideal what I'm talking about. I 'll check out the pages and see what's what. Thanks for your help. As for what I changed it to... I have no ideal but I might have just changed mbox to maildir. I'm pretty sure I tried that config.

I take it you're not using Dovecot for POP3, then? If not, any particular reason why not?
Yes I am using Dovecot for POP3, it wasn't working before but it started working. I changed: default_mail_env = mbox:/home/%u/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u to something else and then restarted dovecat service then changed it back and restarted the service and it would then allow me to get pop.
What did you change it to, out of interest?
If you can get your mail via POP3, then you should be able to get the mail via IMAP, assuming it's enabled in the config file.
What happens when you try to connect to IMAP? Are there any messages in the log files?
- Which version of Dovecot? 0.99.11
This is a fairly old version, now... you might want to see if there are updates to 0.99.13
- What are you migrating from?
I kind of migrated from FC1 but It was a fresh install i just transfered /home/* from the old hd to the new one.Ah. As I understand it, FC1 shipped with Cyrus-IMAP or something. You may have to clean up some of the subscription files. Check on the Dovecot WIKI for details, such as http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration
You may also want to check http://wiki.dovecot.org/MissingMailboxes if you still have troubles.
