Before doing this, please consult Chuck (the man) Mead <chuck@moongroup.com>
on this issue. He is convinced this is not necessary, so you would be a
great person to prove him right or wrong. I don't remember the details why I
resorted to this, but I'm sure I'd exhausted all configuration options.
Anyway, here is the patch.
In /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/imap-4.1.FINAL/src/osdep/unix
change
myHomeDir = cpystr (home);
to
sprintf (tmp,"%s/mail",home);
myHomeDir = cpystr (tmp); /* I prefer home/mail directory */
rebuild and replace the existing imap binary. Not sure how to make a new
patched RPM yet.
