The official pine distribution doesn't support maildir. Since I don't |
| 2 |
run pine myself, I don't know if the maildir USE flag would provide |
| 3 |
the maildir patch for pine. |

If not: you can use another client (mutt comes to mind), or you can |
| 6 |
modify the configuration in /etc/postfix/main.cf |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
You are looking for the variables |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
home_mailbox |
| 11 |
and/or |
| 12 |
mail_spool_directory |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
If you want the mails to be delivered to "one file" (a.k.a. mbox |
| 15 |
format), you want those variables to NOT end in "/". If the variables |
| 16 |
end in "/", the mail will be delivered to it as a qmail-style maildir. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
home_mailbox overrules mail_spool_directory, just in case you are |
| 19 |
wondering. |
