I am currently setting up an imap server on SuSe 10.1 RC3, but this would 
equally apply to previous versions. Alas, it has been so long since I did 
this that I can't recall the correct steps. The server is the standard-issue 
imap one that comes on the disks, not Cyrus, Dovecot or Courier 

My question is how to get the mail into the right folder. I'd like mail to end 
up in a folder called Mail in the user's home directory. Is it simply enough 
to put some procmail files in the user's home directory and have all the 
procmail recipes to point to $HOME/Mail or whatever? Or, do I have to tell 
Postfix and the imap server in some way? Do I have to set up subdirectories 
inside $HOME/Mail or will procmail do that anyway?

I know the server is working perfectly well because I've tested it and have 
installed ssl certificates, turned it on in xinetd, etc. It is just a matter 
of getting the mail to the right place.

TIA.

SuSe 10.1 works extremely well, too, with quite a speed bump over 10.0
