> We have home directories on the server.  Virtual user's can login (at least I've been able to verify that from using telnet to port 143).  Yes the earlier mail was different.  I can go back to that configuration if I need to.  Meanwhile I'll take a look at the link you sent.  Thank you!

Then try this;
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

Make sure the home directories map properly and not to /var/mail/%u from 
however you auth. The above puts IMAP folders in a folder called mail in the 
users home directory, and the inbox in /var/mail/%u.

Dovecot will also store its indexes in the ~/mail directory, so it has to be a 
folder.
