Many thanks to Joseph Tam and Steffen Kaiser for pointing me to the logging
information that I should have been using in the first place. Now that
I have separate log files and debugging information, I'm still at a loss
to see why the mail is not being pulled over from the Linux system to the
Windows 7 machine. To recap, here is the output from doveconf -n:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
# 2.2.18: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# Pigeonhole version 0.4.8 (0c4ae064f307+)
# OS: Linux 4.2.0-27-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 15.10
auth_debug = yes
auth_verbose = yes
disable_plaintext_auth = no
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.info
log_path = /var/log/dovecot
mail_debug = yes
mail_location = mbox:~/lib/Mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
passdb {

}
protocols = imap pop3
ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem
ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem
userdb {
driver = passwd
}
userdb {
driver = passwd
}
verbose_ssl = yes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the configuration logging/debug info:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
log_path = /var/log/dovecot
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.info
auth_verbose = yes
auth_debug = yes
mail_debug = yes

----------------------------------------------------------------------
And here is the complete set of Debug/Info information logged when Outlook
on the Win7 system attempts a Send/Receive operation. Long lines broken
for readability:

Hi
For me it seems like outlook problem (we sometimes get strange problems
with outlook, most of the time they are caused either by AV software
interfering or outlook user profile or .pst file corruption)
Have you checked different mail program or even telnet to see for problems?
As or anti virus programs we had problems i can say for sure Norton and
Kaspersky were problematic, causing unexpected connection failures ie
after successfull auth connection was closed.
As for outlook problems in most cases of pst coruption we got outlook
errors suggesting connection problems.
With profile corruption there were quite fiew different problems
(outlook not cnnecting, droping connection out of bue, having problem
authenticating, repetadly asking for password ...)
The best way we found to test it was using different emai client to test
if the problem is generic or outlook related in rare cases we used
telnet (pop3 is quite simple protocol)
As for dovecot side there are some compatibility options for older
(hopefully) mail clients
outlook related would be
pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh
As for Your log last line suggests there are 3 mails in inbox
Info: Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/3, size=36928
top=x/y
x- top commands issued (comand to retrive part of message ie headers)
y - bytes sent as result
retr=x/y
x - retr commands issued (client requests to get message)
the size is cumulative size of all messages
del=x/y
x - number of deleted messages
y- numer of messages in inbox before any deletes, if there were no deletes
total messages in inbox
size=x - mailbox size in bytes before any messages were deleted
mbox format stores multiple messages in single file You can just du sudo -u
sherril cat /var/mail/sherril to see the messages on commandline and at same
time check if user sherril has permission to read the file (if im right you are
using system users not virual ones) but according to the log everything should
be ok.

There are no errors. We have a pop3 connection. The user's name,
uid, gid, password, home directory are all correct. The inbox is
listed as /var/mail/sherril which is correct, and this file has the
correct ownership and permissions:
# ls -l /var/mail/sherril
-rw-rw---- 1 sherril mail 194900 Feb 11 09:00 /var/mail/sherril
Yet, no mail is pulled over. Are there any clues here?
Thanks,
