I change default_mail_env = mbox:/Mail/%u/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u,
then I put into IMAP server directory of Mozzila ~nina/IMAP/ which is 
the symbolic link to /Mail/nina/
But I can not view anything from Mozzila except inbox, I can not create 
new folder. The error message display "invalid mask". I don't get it. Do 
I suppose to do somehting else in the dovecot.conf file?
