Mercury Suggestions
Mailbox location in the subdirectory of the users home directory

We suggest that the following restriction for the Mercury "Local mailbox directory path" is removed:

It is currently a restriction of Mercury that the ~8 or ~N placeholder must appear at the end of the path.

Explanation: We have to move the mail system from a Netware environment to Windows/Linux.
The local users connect to their Pegasus mailboxes by Novell client, the notebook user via Netware CIFS-Server.
So the local mailbox of a user is located in \\NWserver_W\home\~N\PMAIL\ while using a notebook.

A change of the "Home mailbox location" in every PMAIL.INI affects the functionality of the IMAP4-Server.
Therefore it would be helpful to allow also the mailbox locating pattern \\server\home\~N\PMAIL and (for Samba) \\server\home\~N\.pmail inside the Mercury core module.
