I know.  I know.  It wasn't my choice, but I'm stuck with it (for
the time being)

From the docs/CONFIG file in the distribution.

    The IMAP and POP3 servers are plug-and-play on standard UNIX
    systems.  There is no special configuration needed.  Please
    ignore all rumors to the effect that you need to create an
    IMAP configuration file.

[...]

     Example 1: suppose your mailer delivers mail to file
     ".mailbox" in the user's home directory instead of the
     default UNIX mail spool directory.  You will want to change
     routine sysinbox(), changing the line that reads:

    sprintf (tmp,"%s/%s",MAILSPOOL,myusername ());
    to be:
    sprintf (tmp,"%s/.mailbox",myhomedir ());

[...]


Why, God, why?  Just give me a damn configuration file to change
all this stuff.  It's utterly ridiculous to have to edit the
source to change one *OPTION* -- not behavior, *OPTION*.  At the
very least, just make it a build-time option, but *no* even that
would be too bloody useful, so we can't do that.

Bah!  Die! Die! Die!
