dovecot - Jan 2007 - Dovecot 1.0 on a Mandriva 2007 box

I installed the RPM, and fought with it for days before realizing the
packaged config file is incorrect.  So I downloaded the latest tarball and
used the sample dovecot.conf file.  I was finally able to get dovecot to run
as long as I leave the mail_location line commented out.  If I uncomment the
line dovecot complains that "mail_location" is an "unknown
setting".  What
am I missing?

Thanks,
JB

Well... it would help if you'd provide what is in your .conf file now... 
maybe it is just a typo...
