If you edit your run files for bincimap (imap/run and imaps/run) and
replace "/bin/checkpassword" with:

/export/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw

When users log in, they need to use their full email address as a
username.

You don't have to modify anything there, it should work right out of the
box.

Check the FAQ for how to check if Binc is set up correctly, but log in
with a virtual address instead. Then you can run this command after you
did the SELECT command:

1 FETCH 1:* (FLAGS ENVELOPE)

That will show all messages in the mailbox with flags.

On the file system using qmail, the main mailbox in each account is
typically called Maildir/. Other mail systems use /var/spool/mail/<user>,
and so in. But within the IMAP protocol, this mailbox is always referred
to as INBOX (or Inbox or inbox etc).

That works; I do it myself. :-)
