Andy,

I had some issues with my hotmail address and the mailing list, so I
apologize for breaking up the thread.  Here is my bincimap.conf, I
pasted the original thread onto the end in case you forgot what was
going on :).

The system is set up using Red Hat 9 and the default qmail maildir
settings (ie. $HOME/Maildir) for the mail directory settings.

Thanks,

In your Mailbox section, if your depot is "Maildir++", and your path is
"Maildir", then this should work fine and you should see messages in your
INBOX. If this doesn't work, please post your conf file and describe how
your system is set up (software, mailbox locations etc).

Did you check the FAQ with regards to mailbox/folder settings?

Andy :-)
