Hi folks

Does anyone know if Thunderbird can be configured to read /home/user/.maildir ?

I have a qmail setup that delivers directly to /home/user/.maildir and
is reliable etc. so I do not wish to change this.
Now mutt will read this fine which is what I use when away from home
but for home use I prefer a X app. I have used Evoultion and kmail
both of which are fine but have a few niggles which mean I am looking
for an alternative.
Thunderbird would be the next client but I can only get it to setup
for POP or IMAP neither of which I want to use. I just want it to read
a maildir.

Regards
    Stuart
