pop3/imap clients can't read mail, /bin/mail can

[jeffrey_n_Dyke at Keane.com]

I've recently set up, or have tried to, mail on my FC1 server.  being very
green to mail servers, i chose to install qmail, and related packages, with
the qmailrocks.org site.

When i originally set it up, i had a DNS problem and found some patches
that were suppposed to fix it, and after adding the patches and rebuilding
qmail, i can no longer read mail through imap or pop3 (inclusive of telnet
110...list - shows no messages)  I can, however, read mail using /bin/mail,
after i linked the qmail files in /var/spool/mail/user to
/home/user/Maildir.   I also have no problem sending mail with /bin/mail,
squirellmail or outlook(yeachhh!),  not only does it send the mail, but i
can read sent mail in any client as well

As i mentioned i did have to setup links to /home/user/Maildir from
/var/spool/mail/ to get /bin/mail to read (it like the others, would always
send mail). I originally set them up with ln -s, but thinking some programs
would handle direct links better, i lined one with ln, but still no
difference.

All the packages, independently are working...mostly, but i'm missing a few
key things to tie it all together.

Thanks for any advice you can thrown my way.
Jeff
