Hi all,

I've created a patch (from one of the tutorials online) for IMAP 4.7c2
to make the default INBOX to $HOME/Mailbox rather than
/var/mail/<username>:

 {
   char tmp[MAILTMPLEN];
   if (!sysInbox) {		/* initialize if first time */
-    sprintf (tmp,"%s/%s",MAILSPOOL,myusername ());
+    sprintf (tmp,"%s/%s",myHomeDir,"/Mailbox");
     sysInbox = cpystr (tmp);	/* system inbox is from mail spool */
   }
   return sysInbox;

This patches cleanly on my system but IMAP still reads the INBOX from
/var/mail/<username>! I've also tried the suggestion from the IMAP
documentation but that also failed.
