Hi, there, Payal. ..well nothing, it seems. :-) After checkpassword has succeeded, bincimapd is invoked in $HOME. bincimapd then looks up the "path" variable in the "Mailbox" section from the configuration file or command line options (--mailbox-path). It changes into this directory. Then, bincimapd checks the "depot" variable. Yours is Maildir++, so it expects the INBOX to be in ".", so "./cur", "./new" and "./tmp" are checked to see if INBOX is present. The "type" variable is only used for creating mailboxes, and since only Maildir is currently supported, you can't have anything other than "Maildir" as the value there. You could check if this matches your environment to see what's going in. Otherwise you can try connecting to Binc IMAP manually, and attaching to bincimapd after authenticating, using strace (strace -s 128 -f -p <pid>). This will show exactly why Binc IMAP claims that INBOX isn't there. S.a. http://lifewithbincimap.org/index.php/Main/BasicFunctionalityTest Good luck!
