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.
