(That should be #define, of course.)

This is the function declaration. The content of that function follows
this line in braces. However, the place you want to modify is the
definition for MAILSPOOLHOME near the beginning of the file [line 44].
(Perhaps the comment which I quote above needs to be changed. If I
have understood this correctly, that is. I also find it somewhat
baffling that this is not in the config file.)
I think that's it. I made the following modification in the
"src/authenticate.c" file from:
/*#define MAILSPOOLHOME "/.mail"
to:
#define MAILSPOOLHOME "/.mailbox/inbox"
and all seems to work well now. Thanks for the help!

It is rather brave to try to hack the source under those circumstances :-)
I've been hacking stuff I don't understand my whole (computer) life...
