Please note that the above configuration is for POP3.  I want to make POP3
work first and then I will deal with IMAP.
The actual mail is stored in a flat file /var/spool/mail/username : where
username is a file with the messages in it.
So what should the folders section say ?

I just deleted all messages and sent a new one to it. Here is what my syslog
file reports when I refresh the mailbox.php window in the browser:

Oct 14 23:01:17 EHRAMAIL ipop3d[23372]: pop3 service init from
mail.realvaluexx.com
Oct 14 23:01:17 EHRAMAIL ipop3d[23372]: Auth user=testuser
host=[mail.realvaluexx.com] nmsgs=1/1
Oct 14 23:01:18 EHRAMAIL ipop3d[23372]: Logout user=testuser
host=[mail.realvaluexx.com] nmsgs=1 ndele=0

But still the inbox screen shows no messages  :-(
