It all depends on your configuration. The directory referenced by
"Mail" is the users maildir. It defaults to "$HOME/Maildir".
If you created the directories like this:
cd /home/maildirs/localdomain.org
maildirmake user
then "user" is your maildir and both "Home" and "Mail" should point to
it.
If, on the other hand, "user" is a standard directory and you created
the maildir like this:
cd /home/maildirs/localdomain.org/user
maildirmake Maildir
then "Home" is the user directory and "Mail" is the Maildir directory.
In either case, you must make the maildir with the "maildirmake"
command. And you must be logged in as the owner of the maildir when
you do it.
I find that the second setup is the simplest since it conforms to
Courier's expected directory setup and you don't have to worry about
setting "Mail" explicitly for each user.
