When I gave you a copy of (a cut down version of) my main.mc you'll notice
I use "procmail" as the local mail delivery agent, this is because I have
procmail configured to use "Maildir" format.

Maildir format stores all emails in the users home directory, rather than
in /var/mail ... it also stores the emails in separate files (a lot nicer
for rsync, or a lot of other forms of backup)

I then use "dovecot" as the IMAP server ... this then has a major reduction
on the memory usage over the standard IMAP server, and allows for folders
within folders and all sorts of extra goodness.

I can give you the procmailrc script I use if you'd like to do similarly.
