Hi, |

I'm using sendmail as my mail-server, and I noticed, that mail for |
| 4 |
users is stored in $HOME/.maildir, not in /var/spool/mail. |
| 5 |
And each mail is stored as separate file, not all in one file. |
| 6 |
WHY??? |

|

Some mail clients does not look for new mail in $HOME/.maildir |
| 9 |
with default settings (for example elm, only with -f). |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Moreover, I expected that all mail will be in /var/spool/mail, so |
| 12 |
I created /var relatively big and now I see that it is almost empty. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Even my pop3 server does not look for new mail in $HOME/.maildir, |
| 15 |
so no user can download his mail throught pop3... |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
How can I force my mailserver to use /var/spool/mail? |
