dovecot - Mar 2007 - Problems with different mail clients

I use dovecot as my imap server, and everything is ok.

I used an IMAP client from Windows XP (Outlook Express) as well as Pocket PC
(Windows Mobile 5) and webmail.

The problem is that I recently used Windows Vista and its imap client (Windows
Mail), and problems began.
>From the Windows XP machine, all is ok, but from the Pocket PC a weird thing
happens:
When I first configure the client, in the Received Items, it shows all items
correctly, but then, when starting to donwload, they simply disappear. All other
folders are OK. Problem is just  in inbox.

I thing (although my tests were not exaustive) that deleting the .imap folder
solves the problem, but I just can't understand why, because it is recreated
again...

Any help?

Thank you,

Hello, all.

I thing I solved my problem...

I just changed dovecot.conf to include the  

  default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

which is disabled by default.

Now, apparently, I can access my inbox from both my pocket and my Vista Mail.

Than you all and hope this helps someone else. :)
