Hello
I'm trying to store user mail in ~/Mailbox. I'm using QMail as mailserver
and it delivers the mail correctly to ~/Mailbox, but when I try to get mail
with wu-imapd 4.7c (from the newest port) I won't read from there. I have
patched it as suggested in the imapd documentation (see patch below), and I
the patch is being applyed.
When I make a symlink from /var/mail/<user> to /home/<user>/Mailbox I can
get mail, but then imapd complains a lot about /var/mail/<user> not being a
real file (i guess because it can lock the file correctly).
I'm using FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE.
What do I need to do to make imapd use ./Mailbox?
