OK I got it working:
It works with /home/username/mbox as the file to use in exim's configuration.
Considering I have 3 domains mapped my server, each with 5 or 6 mail account I dont want to create 15 directories in /home/ purely for the mbox files.
From what I've read I will need to change the C source code before I compile it - Considering how Universal UW-Imap is... this surprises me.
CPanel uses UW_IMAP and they can have many many accounts for many many domains... I wonder what their /usr/exim/configure file looks like and how UW-IMAP is set up to read folders such as
/home/username/Mail/account/INBOX
/home/username/Mail/account/INBOX.Sent
/home/username/Mail/account/INBOX.Trash
/home/username/Mail/account2/INBOX
/home/username/Mail/account2/INBOX.Sent
etc etc...
:-S
I log into each accoutn with a different username of course... i just want more flexibility about where the files can be stored.
By the way... is Unix for Dummies a suitable forums for this or is it considered technical?
