[Dovecot] IMAP instead of Maildir on Ubuntu Precise

[Thufir]

Well, I'm just confused now because I see, which I should've noticed 
first, that IMAP is a protocol while Maildir is a Mailbox (type).

So, I could very well be using Mailbox with IMAP?

What I want to do is to "read" messages from Thunderbird by connecting 
to dovecot-imapd.  Pardon, I'm flailing a bit because of the terminology.

thanks,

Thufir
