>Description:

        /usr/pkgsrc/etc/mk/defaults/mk.conf contains the following variable,
        advertized as being used in mail/imap-uw:

        #IMAP_UW_MAILSPOOLHOME=.MailBox
        # To default user mailboxes to their home directory,
        # specify the name of the mailbox file.
        # Possible: Any valid filename, not defined
        # Default: not defined

        Unfortunately it turns out that this no longer works, as the code
        has been changed and the patching caused by setting this variable is
        useless.

>How-To-Repeat:
        set IMAP_UW_MAILSPOOLHOME=.mail, build imap-uw and expect it to
        look in ${HOME}/.mail for mail instead of /var/spool/mail/whoever
>Fix:

        Unclear.
        See http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-pkg/2004/01/21/0004.html
