That is exactly what was done, to support home directory mail delivery
on our IMAP servers.
That's completely unnecessary and (as you noticed) counter-productive.
sysinbox() should always point to the traditional UNIX mail spool. It's
perfectly alright if there is no traditional UNIX mail spool. What you
don't want is for sysinbox() to point to something other than the
traditional UNIX mail spool. The bogus double count in mail_status()
(which is what mailutil reported) is only the tip of the iceberg of what's
wrong when you make sysinbox() point to a home directory INBOX.
I probably already know
the answer to this, but I have to ask: do you have a recommendation for
a better method of having all of the imap suite (imapd, dmail, mailutil,
et. al.) have both INBOX and all users folders relative to the user's home
directory?
Since you are using mbx format, that's already the case without you having
to do anything. mbx format INBOX is always in the user's home directory.
