I do not want that every user has it's own /home/$user directory..

I do not get it.. I have all usersmail stored in /var/spool/mail/%u But Dovecot HAS to write somewhere an INBOX file/directory ? My questions is WHY does it have to create an INBOX directory/file??

I told dovecot that I do not want an IMAP server but it HAS to create an IMAP folder?
And if I have to allow dovecot to create an IMAP folder..how do I tell Dovecot it can put al his INBOX files per user in /tmp?
Thanks in advance.
Michiel I think I found it!
