Hello, Thank you for the very prompt reply :-) You have mentioned that for system users, I could use home directories. I am using only virtual users, so I could use only mailmessagestore as you had suggested. This brings up one question - in the world of qmail + qmail ldap + sqwebmail, does every user have a separate directory for his mail ?
