I'm using Exim 4.72 and Dovecot 1.2.15 on Debian 6.0.9. Exim delivers emails to /home/username in a mbox file.
dovecot.conf
mail_location = mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/mail/%n
But -
dovecot -n
mail_location: maildir:~/.maildir
I can't recieve email to IMAP4 client (Thunderbird). Exim4 puts emails in my mbox file in my home directory.
