Thank you for the response.
Does ~/mbox need to have any data in it to be valid? I have tried
creating a blank file ~/mbox by doing "echo > mbox" and make sure it is
chown to the user, but this did not make the mail copy to this file from
/var/spool/mail when an IMAPd connection is made.

Kevin Long

Your binaries were compiled with

This means that if ~/mbox exists, then whenever a program linked with
c-client (like imapd, ipop3d, alpine) accesses the mail spool
(/var/mail/username) mail is copied from there to ~/mbox. The
combination of those two files is INBOX. If ~/mbox does not exist,
then mail is processed as expected.
