Hi Anne,
I too am on FC4 (rel 2) and Dovecot 0.99. I have the environment variable of MAIL set to MAIL=/var/spool/mail/$USER as is the default in /etc/profile (in other words, I didn't change it from the initial OS load). In /etc/dovecot.conf, I have "default_mail_env = maildir:~/mail" where mail is actually a mail directory (the name is a artifact of a previous IMAP implementation). That's it. Postfix 2.1.5 works with that configuration for me.
Thanks for the reply. I does help, in that it gives me something to compare with, thanks. The infuriating thing is that I had this working before I set up fetchmail, then I lost it. I've just found some lines of main.cf to be missing - I had spells of the mouse going beserk a couple of days ago, and some strange things happened then, so I think that the file became damaged at that time. Hopefully I've found everything now.
Thanks again
Anne
