[vps-mail] "De-virtualizing" user home dir in SquirrelMail on VPS1

["Lang Zerner" <lang@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've installed SquirrelMail 1.43a on a VPS1.  When I log in, the folder list
in the left frame gives the following error:

ERROR: 
ERROR : Could not complete request.
Query: CREATE "INBOX.Sent"
Reason Given: CREATE failed: Can't create mailbox /usr/home/lang/INBOX.Sent:
Disc quota exceeded

The right-hand frame works as expected, except when I try to create a new
folder, which produces the same error.

I'm pretty sure the problem is that SquirrelMail is getting the user home
directory from the passwd file, but the passwd file contains "virtual" path
to the home dir.  

For example, passwd lists my home dir as /usr/home/lang.  Since SquirrelMail
knows nothing about the VPS1 virtual environment, it's trying to create
directories in /usr/home/lang rather than ~/usr/home/lang.

That's my best guess as to what's happening.  Has anyone got SquirrelMail
working on a VPS1?  Anyone know a fix for this problem?

Thanks,
--Lang
