Empty mailboxes

[Daniel Miller]

I set auth_debug=yes and mail_debug=yes.  Comparing the log output - 
other than the fact that the working server has additional lines for the 
mailboxes found they look identical.  No errors.  Yet there's no mail 
when booting the other drive.

I can see the mailboxes in the file path, everything appears mounted, I 
don't see any rights issues.  There's no errors.  Yet I have no mail.

What's my next step?  I can post log sections - they're kind of lengthy 
and I don't see anything wrong in them anyway.
