HELP: Unknown/invalid partition

[Brian White]

It seems that hours working on a problem is pointless.  Just send email 
asking for help and within minutes you'll figure out the answer for 
yourself.

In my case, the new imapd.conf file had no "mail1" partition.  It was 
instead called "default".  I fixed the name and !presto!, it started 
working.

Unfortunately, every message appears to be new!  All of the "seen" files 
were converted to the new skiplist database files.  Any ideas on that 
one?  (I'll keep looking.)
