what about the idea of just having one? (as they rarely will be used at |
| 12 |
the same time anyway) |

so what will this determine? the path to the mailboxes / maildirs... |
| 22 |
i think thats what MAIL in the case of mailboxes and MAILDIR in case of |
| 23 |
maildirs are good for... |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
i'd rather fix the ebuilds of the MTA's to include their own correct |
| 26 |
and adjustable enviroment than duplicating this variable.. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
and last but not least, in qmail the user can change the system |
| 29 |
default, fx from ~/.maildir/ to ~/.mbox |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
i might have gotten this all wrong though.. |
