Ray,

We did this, and love having mailboxes in people's home directories.

We did this by using procmail as the local mailer, cucipop as the popper.
For both of these, check authenticate.c for details on how to set it to
deliver to $HOME/.mail

For imap/pine/pop3d (c-client) check the sysinbox() function in
src/osdep/unix/env_unix.c

I haven't yet taken the time to figure out elm or mutt source, but they
can be easily handled from a shell alias.

One utility that get's broken, is finger.  I've not yet taken the time to
patch it up to make it look in $HOME/.mail for mail info on users.



Good luck,
