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?
I know this isn't one of your questions, but why not give each user
disk quota in the directory /var/spool/mail? This would avoid
questions 1 & 2.
