Greetings.
On our 1.2.9 setup, we are finding that .mailboxlist (we recompiled to use this name rather than .subscriptions) ends up in the user's ~/mail folder. We'd like this file to be stored in ~/ instead. Is this possible without changing namespaces (for UW compatibility) and/or userdb mail location?
Thanks!

Not really, without modifying code.. Except if you don't happen to have prefix=<empty> namespace yet, then it could be kludged.

I do have that namespace. What's involved in the kludge?

Actually.. There's another way to kludge what you wanted:
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:CONTROL=~/:SUBSCRIPTIONS=.mailboxlist
This works, because the only control file that mbox uses is the subscriptions file. In future this might cause some trouble if some other mbox control files show up..

This seems to work quite well. We're using a passwd-file for userdb_mail fields and we had already recompiled for .mailboxlist, so all I had to add to the end of each line was :CONTROL=~/
Thank you.
