[Dovecot] pop3 and home directory
I have a question regarding dovecot (1.0-test52) and pop3. I have users that do not have home directories, they only have an inbox in /var/mail. When they try to pop their email, dovecot tries to create ~/mail and then fails. Is there a way around this or will all email users need to have a home directory?
Cheers, Shane Kerschtien

They need a home directory. Dovecot wants to save index files somewhere.
