Courier IMAP and Postfix

how can i tell postfix to use Maildirs and where to store the mails?
At this time is have a SuSE 9.2 with the postfix coming with the distibution
and installed coureir imapd.

My Maildirs Folder is in /home/user/Maildir but my mails going to
/var/spool/mail in one file. So i believe it works with mailbox at this
time.

Where to change that?
Use the lokal users, not mysql at this time... just a beginner :o)

home_mailbox = Maildir/
(don't forget the trailing slash)

Uncomment any existing home_mailbox-entries!

Will postfix automaticly find the right path or do i have to set the direct
path like ~/Maildir/ so he can add the mails to the maildir folders for each
user on the server.

or is it enough to set Maildir/ ?

Best regards in advance.

Yes! It's enought. Postfix uses home directory with Maildir.
