Too many capacibility parts of disk's. We must use only /var/spool/mail for
storage messages.

I'm make next (ex. for user BOB):

mkdir /var/spool/mail/bob
mkdir /var/spool/mail/bob/cur
.........................................../new
.........................................../tmp
chown bob.users /var/spool/mail/bob
chown bob.users * -R (in bob directory)
chmod 0700 /var/spool/mail/bob
etc..

in $HOME :

echo -n >.qmail
echo ./Maildir/ > .qmail
ln -s /var/spool/mail/bob Maildir

and all work, but this curved :-/

I am want use Mailbox in $HOME. And kill Maildir with /var/spool/mail/*

qmail-pop3d not work with Mailbox :-(
