           I'm not familiar with Corel Linux, but assuming they kept the
same structure Debian uses (and everyone else), new users get a copy of
/etc/skel as their homedir.
           Create a maildir within /etc/skel (use "maildirmake" to do
that), and everything should be OK.
           Also, the default delivery behavior of qmail is determined by
how it starts. Usually, it's something like "qmail-start ./Maildir/ ...".
Make sure that's how it's being done;
           A "ps ax | grep qmail-lspawn" should give you something like:

12016  ?  S    0:00 qmail-lspawn ./Maildir/

           and _not_

12016  ?  S    0:00 qmail-lspawn ./Mailbox


                                          Best regards, and good luck;
                                                    Ricardo Cerqueira
