The code does not use env variables. It supports two kinds of pathnames:
1. MAIL_SPOOL_PATH followed by username, e.g. "/var/spool/mail/user".
2. User home directory path followed by a "Mailbox" or (in your case)
"Maildir", e.g., "/home/user/Maildir".
As I understand, you want it to access "/home/mail/user/Maildir" with
the extra "/mail" component in the pathname.
The simplest way to do this would be to change the user's home directory
to be "/home/mail/user".
If you don't want to do the above, you'll have to modify popa3d's code.
You can change this line in pop_root.c:
spool = pw->pw_dir;
to:
spool = concat("/home/mail/", user, NULL);
and add:
#include "misc.h"
to the beginning of pop_root.c.
I assume this will be on top of the Maildir support patch and changes we
discussed in here in October last year. I haven't tested this.
