I followed these excellent instructions to the end (mailfs: imapconnect: Success) and get this error when I try to button-2-click Mail in acme.
mailfs: imapconnect: Success Mail: cannot mount mail: dial unix!/tmp/ns.jdc.192.168.1.102:0/mail: connect /tmp/ns.jdc.192.168.1.102:0/mail: No such file or directory mail is indeed not in the namespace directory. These files are present. /tmp/ns.jdc.192.168.1.102:0/acme /tmp/ns.jdc.192.168.1.102:0/factotum /tmp/ns.jdc.192.168.1.102:0/plumb What should I run to make it present? Does mailfs mislead me by saying it succeeded?
