   Or just run dovecot daemon/service so thunderbird does not know/care   
   where the mail is.   
      
   $ dovecot --version   
   2.1.15   
      
   $ cat /etc/dovecot/conf.d/my_dovecot.conf   
   # mods made by /local/bin/dovecot_changes   
   listen = *   
   log_path = /var/log/dovecot/errors.log   
   info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/info.log   
   mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u   
   mail_privileged_group = mail   
      
      
   If using an earlier version, modify following   
   variables in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf   
      
   "#log_path") line="log_path = /var/log/dovecot/errors.log" ;;   
   "#info_log_path") line="log_path = /var/log/dovecot/info.log" ;;   
   "#mail_location") line="mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u"   
   ;   
   "#protocols") line="protocols = imap imaps" ;;   
   "#mail_privileged_group") line="mail_privileged_group = mail" ;;
