And... if I *do* want to use a dir in /var/spool/... Can I use syntax like /var/spool/mail/$USERNAME/Maildir to call the individual user's USERNAME environment variable? (I ask because the init script in question makes no mention of "~/" or "$HOME" or anything...) Now, if insisting on a /var/spool/... location is going to make things needlessly difficult, I'm open to being told so. > As for exim I can't help you though... I'm a postfix man myself :P Hehe! That's quite all right; thank you muchly for the help on imapd. Do you know of any good docs that address this stuff? (Anyone?) I'm gonna feel kind of bad if I end up posting *all* my questions about the IMAP setup (and how to manage maildirs, etc) to the list. ;-) -- ,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. > -ScruLoose- | You don't *have* a soul.
