I would like some feedback concerning a use case

Description

As a continuation of the discussion in: #4018

  1. Currently, getmail uses the directory /tmp/docker-mailserver/getmail to store its state about the current sync status: https://getmail6.org/faq.html#faq-about-oldmail
    In my opinion, this directory should be changed to /var/mail-state/getmail or something similar. "State" data should not be stored inside the /tmp/docker-mailserver directory because this "config" directory is often included in a Git repository by users.

  2. As an additional improvement for managing getmail, I propose changing the path of the getmail configuration files getmail-<ID>.cf to a subdirectory under /tmp/docker-mailserver/getmail, instead of storing the getmail configuration in the root of /tmp/docker-mailserver.
    I have many getmail configs, and they're making a mess in the /tmp/docker-mailserver folder.
