Hello,
   After many unsuccessful hours, I have resorted to
this list in the hope of finding an answer to this
question:

   How to change the courier-imap MAILDIR env variable
from the default $HOME/Maildir to
'/var/spool/mail/$USERNAME/Maildir' (for example),
when courier-imap is using the authpam authentication
module?

The manual [1] hints that a MAILDIR environment
variable can be set: "3. Some additional environment
variables may also be initialized: AUTHFULLNAME - the
login ID's full name; MAILDIR - the login ID's default
maildir mailbox; MAILDIRQUOTA - the requested maildir
quota." However it is unclear (to me) how this can be
accomplished when authenticating using authpam.
Documentation examples I could find seem to centre on
other authentication modules.

   The discussion here [2] suggests editing the imapd
startup script, while here [3] the suggestions point
to trying to set the MAILDIR environment variable
using pam_env. As with the people in these posts, I
have also not had much success using these
suggestions.

   Symbolic linking $HOME/Maildir is not an option,
and I cannot switch to use a different authentication
module.

   Any suggestions or ideas on setting this MAILDIR
environment variable for authpam authentication are
very welcome!

Cheers,

Keith Nelson.
