The point was about login.defs which at least on my system contains the
posibility to set Maildirs. For convenience:
# *REQUIRED*
# Directory where mailboxes reside, _or_ name of file, relative to the
# home directory. If you _do_ define both, MAIL_DIR takes precedence.
# QMAIL_DIR is for Qmail
#
QMAIL_DIR MyMail/incoming
#MAIL_DIR /var/spool/mail
#MAIL_FILE Mailbox
As you can see its written there: QMAIL_DIR is for Qmail. Maybe Qmail is not
qmail?
For shure I can set MAIL to point to the correct directory but then why this
setting in login.defs. What I wanted to say is that IT DOES NOT WORK WITH THIS
SETTING IN LOGIN.DEFS AND I DON'T KNOW WHY!
