Links exist. Use them. You could link the /var/spool/mail
directory to that huge data partition. {^_-}
The /etc/profile line tells DoveCot where to go for the email.
As it happens I store the incoming in the spool directory
and the IMAP folders in the user's home directory. That is
a more or less arbitrary decision, though. It can change. (Of
course, I give /home its own partition as a precaution against
new distribution install issues. And I make it plenty big enough.)

has not yet proven itself to me. And AppArmor already has
shown deficiencies for what I want. {^_-})

Concept: A mail server that doesn't accept remote connections to deliver mail. Mail are fetched from a remote server that handles incoming connections, and delivered locally to an IMAP server (cyrus)
Packages needed: postfix, cyrus-imapd, fetchmail, fetchmailconf (GUI for configuration of fetchmail, not strictly needed)
If I run fetchmailconf while logged in as my regular user, am I creating one of those ~/fetchmailrc files that applies to just my user, or the general fetchmail
config that applies to all mail (this user or other)?
What I want is the general case. I guess I can just duplicate lines in the central conf file, changing my account specifics to my wife's, and then to the other user's...
I have a big /data partition, and it would be handy if:
a) fetchmail put the incoming mail there for all users
Links exist. Use them. You could link the /var/spool/mail
directory to that huge data partition. {^_-}
b) Cyrus-IMAP knew to expect it / keep it there, rather than in some other (default?) place like /var/spool
