And? At least tell him what the UID/GID are used for in SQWebMail! Ah well, they are the UID and GID of the user owning the mailbox within the filesystem. In my setup (but you could do it differently) I have all owned by courier. I have very few mailboxes, and I run the server for my family use. If I were to set up a service I would have a different UID per domain, just to make sure that I would not have any crossreading out of possible SQWebMail/Courier bugs.

No because it is on an NFS partition, then I agree with you, but you could set up the Home directory to what you want. What it means is that it is possible to keep the directory structure as specified, but it wouldn't be too healthy to have access to a directory located on a different server.
Sam, you are a hell of a programmer, but sometimes your PR sucks :)
