[Dovecot] New install not working.

[Rhorer, Leslie]

        Hello.

        I need some help.  I was running uw-imap on my IMAP server (so I am using mbox email files), but I was having trouble with Outlook 2013, so I decided to move to dovecot.  At first things were looking much better, except that most of my folders, other than the Inbox, were not showing up.  I started changing both the dovecot configuration and the folder structure of my mail files, but now I can't even get the Inbox to populate.  Outlooks says it is there, along with any folders I create new in Outlook, plus the Trash folder, which is the only non-local folder with anything in it.  Try what I might, I can't get my Inbox to populate or any of the existing folders to show up at all.  Here is the current output from dovecot -n:

# 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.1 xfs
mail_location = mbox:/RAID/home/%u/mail
namespace inbox {
  inbox = yes
  location =
  mailbox Drafts {
    special_use = \Drafts
  }
  mailbox Junk {
    special_use = \Junk
  }
  mailbox Sent {
    special_use = \Sent
  }
  mailbox "Sent Messages" {
    special_use = \Sent
  }
  mailbox Trash {
    special_use = \Trash
  }
  prefix =
}
passdb {
  driver = pam
}
protocols = " imap pop3"
ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem
ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem
userdb {
  driver = passwd
}

I have the mail files on a RAID array (separate from the boot arrays) at /RAID/home/<User>/mail.  Here is a snapshot of one of t he directories:

        Since the home directories are on a subdirectory of a separate array, I have the following:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   10 Sep 27 21:22 /home -> /RAID/home

/var/mail:
total 140724
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root mail        30 Sep 27 21:31 ljrhorer -> /RAID/home/ljrhorer/mail/inbox
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root mail        29 Sep 27 21:31 lrhorer -> /RAID/home/lrhorer/mail/inbox
