I'm setting an IMAP server for math students. I wish the user mailbox to
be in each home directory, so quota can prevent someone filling the
/var/spool/mail.
I yet configured smail and pine to search for the user inbox in
${HOME}/mail/inbox file. In the same mail directory Pine creates its
folders.
The IMAP server (imap 4.4-4) is OK to store folders in ${HOME}/mail/ but
it insists on searching /var/spool/mail/${USER} for the inbox.
I have two questions:
1) Is it possible to change imap without recompiling it? I read a lot of
warning for using a configuration file.
2) Is there a Debian policy about mail in user's home directory?
