Dear listmembers,
as per default, postfix uses 

/var/spool/mail/<USERNAME>inbox/cur

as the directory to deliver email to.

However, kmail expects the delivery to

/var/spool/mail/<USERNAME>/.inbox.directory/inbox/cur
I "fixed" this by replacing the directory
/var/spool/mail/<USERNAME>/.inbox.directory/inbox

by a softlink pointing to 
/var/spool/mail/<USERNAME>/inbox

I tried fiddling around by setting 
mail_spool_directory=/var/spool/mail/$user/.inbox.directory
within main.cf.

However, restarting postfix ends with an error message stating that "user" is 
not accepted here - seems like the usage of a variable in the pathname is not 
ok - or I am doing something utterly wrong.
Can you provide some advice?
Thank you very much,
take care
