You mean default_mail_env setting in config file too?

How are there two gavin_imap files? They probably have spaces or
something after the name?

You probably added space at the end of default_mail_env in config file
which is causing the problems?

Maybe the same space problem?

BTW. Next version will ignore the spaces automatically.
