	I don't know how this program you mentioned works with
	maildirs, but the inbox maildir is usually called ./Maildir/
	(note the ending slash), relative to the home directory of the
	user to whom qmail-local is doing the delivery.

	This is just a standard convention made by Dan Bernstein, but
	the maildir can be named whatever the user wants if he puts
	the appropriate instructions in his $HOME/.qmail file.


	Hope this helps, Roger...

P.S.: I'd love if kmail supported maildirs directly, without a dirty
hack of converting the maildir messages to a mbox.
