dovecot - Oct 2016 - First steps in Dovecot; IMAP not working

Hello,

First of all, I'm sorry if you received this mail twice; I haven't
received
it the first time so I think it was lost. Second attempt.

I've made some more tests and I still can't receive mails.
Outlook doesn't complain about anything, no error message; the mails that
are supposed to be received just won't appear.
In the mail logs, I find this line (other lines are irrelevant):
dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (no auth attempts in 2 secs): user=<>
[...]

Is this a problem that looks familiar?

It's a bit clueless without an error message.
Any idea welcome.

I checked, using ls -l /var, and I get this:
drwxrwsr-x  2 root mail  4096 Apr 27 11:27 mail
so the group looks to be correctly set to 'mail', despite what the log
says,
right?

Thanks for your answer. The second command is nice to know.

Thank you. I?m at the ?Check that it finds INBOX? section and am getting:
* 0 EXISTS
* 0 RECENT

(the remaining text being the same as the example). So it looks like the mailbox
doesn?t exist?
