[Dovecot] Dovecot pop3s problem : can't see email

[Rory Campbell-Lange]

Hi. I am trying to setup dovecot running a pop3 service for external clients
(and intend in future to setup an imap interface on localhost only for
squirrelmail.)

Exim is delivering ok to local mailboxes, but I can't seem to get
dovecot to serve them.

Configuration details:
----------------------

All users run as the tst user, and authentication is done through
postgresql.

...excerpt...
mail_extra_groups = tst
default_mail_env = mbox:INDEX=~/home/tst/Mail/:/home/tst/Mail/%u
protocol pop3 {
    pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv
    pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh
}
...excerpt...

Log details:
------------

The log shows that docecot is looking at /home/tst/Mail/test
