I'm having problems getting dovecot to read my mbox file. I have
turned on mail_debug. Log says:

In dovecot.conf my mailbox location is:
default_mail_env = mbox:/Applications/4DWebSTAR/MailboxServer/
Mail_DefaultSite/Mailboxes/%u/INBOX.mbox/:INDEX=/Applications/
4DWebSTAR/MailboxServer/Mail_DefaultSite/Mailboxes/%u/INBOX.mbox/
mbox.index
Contents of Applications/4DWebSTAR/MailboxServer/Mail_DefaultSite/
Mailboxes/jlbrown/INBOX.mbox/ are:
inbox (created by dovecot)
mbox
mbox.index
mbox.info
Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
James.
