Squirrelmail on Gentoo

[ariesow]

Hi,

I have setup a Squirrelmail on a Gentoo box and its working great. Currently i am in the midst of migrate my existing web-mail to newly deploy squirrelmail.

The existing web-mail application will create file in /home/'username'/mail/ directory for all additional folders user create using this application.

where else, the squirrelmail create all these files in /home/'username'/. This mean that i have hassle to transfer user's mails from existing web-mail to be seen by Squirelmail.

Is there anyway that i can configure Squirrel mail folder creation point for /home/'username'/mail directory ?

-OR-

Is there a better workaround ?

Thanks.

switch your mail system to one that uses .maildir format, and there shouldn't be anything that you need to do to your user's directories to set up squirrelmail... (you still have to use webapp-config to install the squirrelmail files into /var/www/hostname.tld/squirrelmail/)

cheers

edit: if the user can't log in after this point, try sending them an email to create the /home/user/.maildir folder
