Subject: hashed mail spool with pine 4.05 and imap 4.4

Does anyone know if support for this is included in either?
Has anyone added support for this in pine before?
If not, what's the best ballpark figure for the effort of converting both
(especially the number of files that must be checked) to support
hash_spool=2 directory structures (/usr/spool/mail/e/h/ehr)?
I've looked at the source and I noticed just how extensive they were for
both products and since this is to be a production system (on an alpha) I
want to minimize mistakes/forgotten code references
Thanks in advance

This may not be an option for you but we use procmail as an MTA for
sendmail to put mail in users' home directories.  This a good solution for
us since users don't need a quota for /var.
	We have info at http://www3.hmc.edu/docs/coolstuff about our
sendmail and popper configurations.  I think our imap is standard but I'll
ask.

That isn't really the problem
how do you get the info OUT?
I've checked, seems your system puts the emails in the user's home
directories, which isn't what we really want, thanks anyways

it is not a problem with pine rather you have to adjust the imap source
code. it is not that hard to do. I can send patches that adjust the
concept of home dir to /var/imap/<username> it should be easy to move it
to /var/imap/u/s/username. I haven't moved to that model yet because we
are just over 200 people :)
