Ok, this is good. To test if the messages arrived, you can try this
'script':

[EMAIL PROTECTED] telnet localhost 143
[...it connects, etc...]
A001 LOGIN username password
A002 SELECT INBOX
A003 LOGOUT

Replace username and password with an actual account on your system.
After entering the SELECT Inbox command, it will report back how many
messages are there and a few other details. If that works, then the
DBMail side of things won't need any more major configuration.

This looks right.

If your MUA was previously configured for a particular IMAP server, then
you might have some specific settings left over that are not useful. The
only thing I can think of right away is the mailbox namespace, but there
might be a few other little things like that. That should not affect
just seeing messages in your Inbox, though.

Which MUA are you using? What problems does it seem to be having?
