pffft. again, the answer is in the doc's. ;-)
from INSTALL.maildir
Here's how to set up qmail to use maildir for your incoming mail:
% maildirmake $HOME/Maildir
% echo ./Maildir/ > ~/.qmail
Make sure you include the trailing slash on Maildir/.
y'know, i'm starting to like qmail more and more. instead of finding the
answers easily and pondering them for hours (like sendmail) the answers are
right in the doc's and they're super easy to understand. ;-)
