So, having both courier-imap and -imap-ssl, I should presumably make the
change in *both* places, right?

Okay... so this is essentially handing the maildir location to the imapd
as a command-line parameter, yes?
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.

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. ;-)
