dovecot - Jan 2005 - pop3 and home directory

I have a question regarding dovecot (1.0-test52) and pop3.  I have 
users that do not have home directories, they only have an inbox in 
/var/mail.  When they try to pop their email, dovecot tries to create 
~/mail and then fails.  Is there a way around this or will all email 
users need to have a home directory?

Cheers,
Shane Kerschtien

They need a home directory. Dovecot wants to save index files somewhere.
