I added uw-imapd.exe, uw-ipop2d.exe and uw-ipop3d.exe to the exceptions and
I made sure that /var/mail and /var/spool/mail are the same directory. When
I attempt to run uw-imapd, it still gives no output. I also tried disabling
AVG's Email Scanner, but still nothing. If it matters, /var/spool/mail is a
link to /var/mail
