This hasn't got too much to do with qmail, but with you mail client (elm
or what-have-you). I'd recommend mutt (especially as you use elm which
is mutt's default key bindings [no MUA war please]).
In mutt, you'd type "mutt -R -f /home/user/Maildir/" or whereever the user
has his maildir (I often run
"mutt -f /var/qmail/domains/luna.lu.se/postmaster" for example). Observe
the -R switch which means read-only.
Two gotchas: the mail client (mutt or other) must read maildirs and you
must be some kind of superuser (root or other) to read other peoples
maildirs. Observe also that this is considered unethical by many
(including me).
Short answer: get a Maildir-capable mail client and give it the Maildir
location on the command-line.
