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
