Hello all,

I am very, very new to Linux and I apologise in
advance for the (probably stupid) questions I am going
to ask and for the fact that being so new to Linux, I
have bitten off way more than I can chew.

To cut a long story short, I have a ClarkConnect (its
based on Redhat) installation that I am trying to
modify to use �maildir� mail boxes. I�ve replaced
Fetchmail with Getmail and the default UW-imap server
with BincIMAP. 

However I am having no end of problems configuring
bincIMAP. I�ve edited the bincimap.conf to set the
�allow plain auth in non ssl� to yes (I�m having
enough problems as it is without messing around with
SSL!). So now I can telnet into it as per the FAQ.
However, I�m having no luck logging in to accounts and
I suspect this is because the mailbox/folders section
is not properly setup. ClarkConnect stores its
mailboxes in: 

/var/spool/mail/

The trouble is, because of the aforementioned Linux
ignorance, I really don�t know if this is a standard
or none standard place for mailboxes. Also, I really
don�t understand the instructions at bincimap-faq
regarding �How can I tell bincIMAP where my
mailboxes/folders are?�

Any help regarding how bincimap.conf (or any other
configuration file) should be setup to point to the
right place would be greatly appreciated.

Amin
