That would probably work if I didn't install everything from RPM.
Here's the easier solution:

imapd's pop3d _does_ support ~user/mbox
(the newer version of imapd does).
Just rename all the ~user/Mailbox files to ~user/mbox
and everything will work like a charm.

Don't forget to edit all qmail's config files, startupthingies
, dotfiles, etc.  to change Mailbox into mbox.

I wish I could list exactly what to change where here, but hell,
qmail has spread itself all across the filesystem randomly.
Try to read some docs or man's, there everywhere as well.

I still hate the mess qmail's rpm made of my machine.


Thanks anyway
