Are you using mbox or maildir? It looks only for ~/Maildir with maildir. With mbox it looks for ~/Mail and ~/mail directories, and they must contain either "inbox" or "mbox" file.
If your mail is in /var/mail, that's not supported yet, and I'm not sure if it will be. You could create symlink from it to ~/mail though.
i can't find a good howto doc.
can you put ls -laR of the special folders into a mail an send it ?
i don't know how this should work
seems i'm using maildir Internal error [2002-09-15 16:42:35] Sep 15 16:42:35 p133 imap(svrmarty): Can't open index data /home/svrmarty/Maildir/.INBOX/.imap.index.data: No such file or directory
dunno what to do

Looks like some bug .. rm -f /home/svrmarty/Maildir/.INBOX/.imap.index* might help.
Anyway, the 0.97 version isn't very usable. I think I'll release new version today or tomorrow, which has had quite a lot of testing. I'll just have to see if all those changes I did last weekend broke everything or fixed the last few problems :)
