Hi Timo
adding mail_extra_groups = mail has let me get further.
i copied a user mbox across to the testbox and found i could not read the mail. looking at the mail it had a new line at the top and what look like message markers between emails. anyway dropping the first blank line i got the mails and the mbox has what looks like holding text to keep the mbox with some data.

This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is not a real message. It is created automatically by the mail system software. If deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will be re-created with the data reset to initial values. <end quote>
I have seen this on old pop3 mbox files on RH6.2 server i had a while back.
i also had to add ssl_disable = yes to stop Cert warnings, which i did not do in 0.99
