Sorry, that doesn't work either.  I get an "imap protocol error" in 
squirrelmail.

I see your other mail suggesting "mail_location = maildir:~/", but I
don't understand that one either.  Doesn't the tilde refer to a local
user on the server?  We have no local users, just users in the DB, so
how would "maildir:~/" work?

I hesitate to turn on debugging because these servers are in heavy use.
Sorry to be a pain.
