This is how I currently have my directories set up, with "user" as a standard directory. I've never seen "user" defined as a maildir, though I could imagine it. > In either case, you must make the maildir with the "maildirmake" > command.

There's just one catch - I *can't* log on to the owner of the maildir, since the owner is a virtual user and doesn't exist in passwd, only in userdb. (the owner would be of the form "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", which all the passwd manipulation programs reject). I've been su'ing to courier to create the maildirs - or should I create a user in passwd called "user1", and user that for a given "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", and so on - using the user "user1" as my logon when I create the maildirs? (yes, I'm going to go try this...) > 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. I would agree with that assertion. Thanks again for your patience and help, David M.
