That is exactly what was done, to support home directory mail delivery
on our IMAP servers.  Our sysinbox() in env_unix.c looks like:

char *sysinbox ()
{
   char tmp[MAILTMPLEN];
   if (!sysInbox) {              /* initialize if first time */
#if defined(KERDAP)
     sprintf(tmp, "%s/INBOX", myHomeDir);
#else
     sprintf (tmp,"%s/%s",MAILSPOOL,myusername ());
#endif
     sysInbox = cpystr (tmp);    /* system inbox is from mail spool */
   }
   return sysInbox;
}


and we are compiling with KERDAP defined.  I probably already know
the answer to this, but I have to ask: do you have a recommendation for
a better method of having all of the imap suite (imapd, dmail, mailutil,
et. al.) have both INBOX and all users folders relative to the user's home
directory?

We can wait.

Excellent, thanks.
