Thanks, I deleted the exin.conf, and reconfigured exim, then made the change you suggested :
file = /var/spool/mail/${local_part} directory = /home/${local_part}/Maildir and added maildir_format When I run fetchmail, it connects and recieves, but the mails do not appear in the Maildir folder. They do however, appear in /var/spool/exim (I think). The log says, that /home/mat/Maildir is not a regular file and the message is frozen. Why is this ? I definitly do have 'directory=' not 'file=' Any ideas ?
