[Dovecot] Silly newbie questions...

[Michael Segel]

Hi,

I'm relatively new to dovecot, less than 48 hours, and I've ran in to a few 
bugs in the installation/configuration process.


Here's my set up.

I have my own domain. Within the domain, I have a couple of Linux boxes.
So I control both my primary and secondary mail servers.

My Linux boxes are a mixture of SuSE 9.2, 9.3 and 10.0 (All based on age of 
the hardware.)

I'd like to use Postfix for my MTA, which I have up and running, but I'd also 
like to add an IMAP server (hence dovecot) so I can get my mail from any of 
my PCs and my blackberry.) 

On my main mail server, I have KDE running and it uses 
~/Mail/inbox/(cur,new,...) 

When I tried to use KDE on my other Linux server, I got it to authenticate and 
I could see the folders, but I couldn't see any of the mail. (Its all in cur 
subdirectory.)

Now I did notice that when Postfix gets a mail message, its placed 
in /var/spool/mail/msegel which would imply its using an mbox format.

So what am I missing?

TIA!

-Mike
