[Dovecot] configuration problem: maildir folders and messages not found

[Bram Mertens]

Hi

Perhaps I've been going too far OT in my previous thread or perhaps I
just didn't explain my problem clear enough so forgive me for trying
again.

I have configured fetchmail to fetch my mail from my ISP's POP3-server.
I have set up procmail to filter messages and deliver all non-filtered
messages to the folder ".IN-catchall/" in "$HOME/Maildir"

After sending some test messages the "Maildir" folder in my home-folder
looks like:
m8ram at medion:~$ tree -a Maildir
Maildir
|-- .IN-catchall
|   |-- cur
|   |-- new
|   |   `-- 1114356268.8424_0.medion
|   `-- tmp
|-- .IN-testing
|   |-- cur
|   |-- new
|   |   |-- 1114354955.6900_0.medion
|   |   `-- 1114356175.8292_0.medion
|   `-- tmp
|-- .INBOX
|   |-- .IN-testing
|   |   |-- cur
|   |   |-- new
|   |   |   |-- 1114354955.6900_0.medion
|   |   |   `-- 1114356175.8292_0.medion
|   |   `-- tmp
|   |-- .imap.index
|   |-- .imap.index.data
|   |-- .imap.index.log
|   `-- .imap.index.tree
|-- .customflags
|-- IN-catchall
|-- cur
|-- new
`-- tmp

16 directories, 11 files

Because I have been using the mbox format to test dovecot so far I had
to modify my dovecot configuration but no matter what I try none of the
messages above appear in evolution or thunderbird.

Can anybody tell me what I need to add/remove/change in my config? I'm
running:
m8ram at medion:~$ /usr/sbin/dovecot --version
0.99.14
on debian testing

/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf contains the following:
protocols = imap
login = imap
login = pop3
mail_extra_groups = mail
default_mail_env = maildir:/%h/Maildir
auth = default
auth_mechanisms = plain
auth_userdb = passwd
auth_passdb = pam
auth_user = root

When using mbox I used:
default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

I also tried the following for maildir:
default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir
default_mail_env = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir

But neither worked.

TIA

Bram
