Yeah ... I looked at those (as I mentioned in my post). I was talking about something more basic.
I think that mbox puts all mail in one file and maildir puts each individual mail in its own file in a separate directory for each user. But the mail_location parameter is confusing to me. Like when it was suggested that I add "mbox:/var/empty:" ... to me that's like saying "we don't use mbox ... so the mbox is the bit bucket" ... which is obviously not how it works. To me "mbox:/var/spool/mail/u%" made more sense but was not recommended. That's just one example.
Thanks though :)

Ok, I did as you suggested. It worked. Wish I knew why. Would you happen to have a link to a basic explanation of the mail_location parameter? I looked in the wiki and I'm obviously missing some fundamental knowledge which the wiki builds on.
You mean these?
