courier-imap: Setting MAILDIR in /etc/default/courier has no effect

[Jacob Piotrowski]

Can you post your config file?

> According to /usr/share/doc/courier-base/README.Debian, the directory

> maildirs are stored is set in /etc/default/courier. However, looking at
> /etc/init.d/courier-imap, it appears that /etc/default/courier sets the

> is
> corrected, the setting is overridden in the last line of
> /etc/courier/imapd. I'm not sure what the most appropriate way of setting
> these defaults is, but the way things currently stand is very confusing.
