I tried searching courier-users and the web pages for this, and maybe I'm missing something...
But why, if it can't find anything named Maildir, does courier create a Maildir file, instead of its preferred format of a Maildir directory? Since it creates /something/ one would think it would create the proper structure that it requires. We come across this on occasion as a user gets over-zealous in home directory cleaning and deletes their Maildir directory.
Legacy-related issues.
Or is there a configuration option I'm missing somewhere?
There is a cute trick you can do. Change the default mail delivery instructions to "Maildir/.". This will prevent the Maildir file from being
created. A real maildir won't be created either, the mail will simply be deferred until such time that a proper maildir is created.
