The user's store directory, whereever you have specified that to be.  
It will almost certainly be shown in the log files - I'm sure it was  
when I was debugging this same problem.

Your subsequent message of 13 January 2006 03:56:16 GMT is the same  
issue as this one. (Actually, I think your last message might be, too).
"i can send emails and i know they get there ... but ... i can['t]  
retrive them using squirrelmail" is symptomatic of a permissions  
problem.

Stroller.
