Go back and read what James said he's using:

Now I have the same, and I also have, as I've previously posted here, my promail set up so that it default delivers to
MAILDIR=/$HOME/Mail/ DEFAULT="$MAILDIR/INBOX/"
But his is not. He does not explicitly set a delivery method in fetchmail, so that means it just handles over to the local mail transfer agent, be it postfix, sendmail, qmail, whatever. And that ends delivering email as an mbox file under /var/spool/mail/.
Yes, and you're missing my point. I've been saying that James is mixing mbox and maildir and that' why his Thunderbird isn't seeing anything. I'm saying that *my* system is consistent about the INBOX being maildir: I have it set that way in the dovecot inbox namespace and I have it that way in my .procmailrc because I'm not using sendmail/postfix. What you're saying is that James has a maildir set to ~/Mail/INBOX in his namespace inbox and a uses the default mbox in /var/spool because he has lets his .procmail default into using sendmail/postfix deal with it. Unless he wants to make his dot-procmailrc work like mine, perhaps his best tactic is to delete *all* customization from the dovecot config, not just the customization of the namespace but remove all mail_location and remove local.conf and let dovecot do its smart thing. -- You have enemies?
