exim (assuming you use exim, that is) delivers in /var/spool/mail/user
by default. I have the following in /etc/exim/exim.conf (modify the
existing local_delivery entry).
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
group = mail
mode = 0660
mode_fail_narrower = false
envelope_to_add = true
return_path_add = true
#file = /var/spool/mail/${local_part}
directory = ${home}/Maildir
maildir_format = true
prefix = ""
It seems to do the trick. Mail gets dropped into ~/Maildir and I read it
through Courier IMAP.
