Create Maildir mail directories for every user already on the system. This step must be
performed for every user that is already on the system, and must be run as the user
because running this command as root will result in Maildrop being unable to write to
the folders:
$ maildirmake.maildrop $HOME/Maildir
$ maildirmake.maildrop -f Trash $HOME/Maildir
5. Create mail directories under /etc/skel. The contents of /etc/skel will be copied to
the home directories of any new accounts that you create after the setup is completed:
# maildirmake.maildrop /etc/skel/Maildir
# maildirmake.maildrop -f Trash /etc/skel/Maildir
6. Configure Maildrop to deliver to the Maildir folders instead of mbox files stored in
/var/spool/mail. Use your favorite text editor to edit /etc/maildroprc and add
this line at the end of the file:
DEFAULT="$HOME/Maildir/"
7. Exim needs to be configured to deliver messages using Maildrop. Use your preferred text
editor to open /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf and add the following line at
the end of the file:
dc_localdelivery='maildrop_pipe'
8. Tell Exim to load the most recent configuration change:
# invoke-rc.d exim4 reload
9. Install Courier IMAP and Courier POP:
# apt-get install courier-imap courier-pop
Select ???no??? when asked whether or not the installer should create directories for Webbased
administration.
