Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I don't have the source RPM as I 
installed RedHat by FTP. I recompiled the imap server just now to test. It 
still doesn't give me my new mail from /var/spool/mail. 

ls -l /var/spool
drwxrwxrwt    2 root     mail        16384 Sep 19 08:30 mail 

ls -l /var/spool/mail/simon
-rw-rw----    1 simon    mail       681633 Sep 19 08:14 simon  

Why can't the IMAP daemon see that file then?

ls -l /home/simon
drwxrwxrwx    2 simon    mail         4096 Sep 19 08:16 INBOX
drwxr-xr-x    2 simon    mail         4096 Sep 19 08:28 mail
-rwxrwxrwx    1 simon    mail     13309124 Sep 18 19:50 mbox 

There's my mbox file, as you can see I have set open permissions so that 
everyone should see it while still testing

Can anyone help?

Regards
Simon
