Yes I edited the transports and changed the directory name to .Maildir. I then moved the old Maildirs to /home/$USER/.Maildir and restarted exim.
The transport file I edited was /etc/exim/conf.d/transport/30_exim4-config_maildir_home My exim has been setup to split the config files and not as one individual configuration file. Is there a chance that another file needs to edited? Graeme Fowler wrote: > > On Thu, 2008-07-10 at 02:51 -0700, keenboy wrote: >> I have wanted to move my users Maildirs so that they are hidden.
