We would like to be able to preset mailsubdir to "mail" to prevent the endless stream of support calls by people who get it wrong in their client setup (i.e. Thunderbird->Account Settings->Server Settings->Advanced->IMAP server directory). I see that I can edit src/osdep/unix/env_unix.c and set this var:

static char *mailsubdir = "mail";    /* mailbox subdirectory name */

but I don't see a way to enforce this setting by ignoring the (frequently) wrong setting that an end user might specify. Other than in env_unix.c I did not run across this var in other files that I found so I'm not sure how it's getting set in the first place. Is there some setting I can specify or recommended edit that would force the use of the value I desired regardless of the client setting?

Any guidance would be appreciated.
thanks,
David
