Well, what I've done for one of my domains (my personal one) is use
vpopmail's multiple uid/gid so that my mail domain is in my personal home
directory. So, in this example I'm set up like this:
/usr/home/matt/ (that me)
/usr/home/matt/domains/simerson.net (one of my domains)
/usr/home/matt/Maildir (symlinked to
/usr/home/matt/domains/simerson.net/matt/Maildir
Since I own all the files within the domain simerson.net, I can use pine to
read the mail in that Maildir. I suppose Mutt could also do that if it reads
Maildir's.
