Hi all,
yes I know this may seem obvious but I'm scratching my head...
I have email setup as postfix and dovecot for imap.
Email is working fine in and out.
I'm using thunderbird as mail client and the server type is set to imap
mail server port 143.
Now this is supposed to leave all the email on the server, being imap,
isn't it?
If I look in my home folder I see...

why is inbox zero length and an old date and where is the email stored?
