I don't set the "home" field manually. It's set by Mandriva Directory
Server. I think that the error come from that mail and home are, on my
config, un

I find it very wrong to consider that as a user fault because :

1) it was working previously and al least one existing configuration
(mine) was working fine with it.

2) there's no rule that say that it's bad to return maildir:. It's just
lazyness from the programmer : consider it user fault instead of
correcting it.

3) the software understand perfectly what the user want without any
possible confusion and decides arbitrarly to give an error

4) the error message is not related to that issue.


I understand perfectly how this bug can be considered as "user fault, not a bug" but IMHO just putting the head in the sand. 


Well, in the end, I agree that it's a broader consideration (and less urgent ;-) )
