No. The maildir directory is whatever the user puts in the delivery
line. Thus if the user puts a relative path and there are multiple
accounts, mpop tries to chdir() to the second account from the second
one.


For example:

with folders one and two, a run of mpop -a will try to deliver the mails
from the second account into one/two



Additionally, patch 3 is useful for incrementally going to patch 4 :)
