Right. Good testing!

With Thunderbird and Maildir++ you'll also have to specify INBOX as
the server root folder. I'm not sure how this is done in Outlook, but
I'm pretty sure it's neccessary there as well.

Did you check the lifewithbincimap.org wiki for hints on using these
clients?

The symlink is only required for IMAPdirs, it's purpose is to make
INBOX synonymous with the root folder since vpopmail delivers to the
root folder but IMAP clients look in INBOX.

Strange, this should have worked better, both with Thunderbird and
Outlook.

Do you think you can provide a recording of the actual session
between the client and the server too? Check out the ProtocolDumping
page on the lwbi wiki for instructions on how to do this.

Personally I prefer the strace dump method since it also shows what
is going wrong behind the scenes.
