Use an LDA like procmail, configure procmail to deliver mail to
~/Maildir/ but if the user doesn't want that they could put
in their procmailrc something like:
DEFAULT=$HOME/mbox
or even if you don't mind them storing their mail under /var (some
programs might need this path for mbox... that would be the only reason
they'd want it to... compatibility I take it... if not make them use
Maildir.
DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/mbox
