Migrate from DirectAdmin to Virtualmin: Issues with cgi-bin and Email

Hey all,
I've been trying to import a DirectAdmin backup.
But I've encountered some issues

cgi-bin is located under $HOME/public_html/ instead of $HOME/


Second,
Mail directories in /var/mail are not created correctly.
They are created in $HOME dir but they are missing from /var/mail/ so is the symlink from /var/spool/mail.
Meaning that when a DA backup is migrated to Virtualmin Email is not working out of the box.
It does help to create the directories under /var/mail manual.
Do i miss something here?

Kind Regards,
Joe Doe.

Ok so,
I found out that /var/mail/ and /var/spool/mail has nothing to do with it.
Simply changing this in usermin's configuration to $HOME/Maildir fixed it for me atleast for the Usermin part.

As for cgi-bin i simply ran a script while creating a new Virtual-Server which creates a symlink from $HOME/public_html/cgi-bin to $HOME/cgi-bin
This shouln't be done this way.
But even after creating a DA Import only Server Template and changing the Apache2 config so that cgi-bin could be found in public_html
this didn't even work for me.
