-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have recently setup postfix on my desktop to be my MTA, both sending and receiving (with fetchmail). I get emails in /var/spool/mail/praedor as expected and can see them with pine and if I do "ls /var/spool/mail" I see the praedor mailbox.
In kmail (KDE 3.0.3) I changed my receiving host to local mail using maildir format. In the selection window provided it had /var/spool/mail/praedor exactly as it should. If I select it, however, and check mail I get an error: "cannot open ://var/spool/mail/praedor" I then tried to choose the directory to see if this would fix the problem. I navigate in the kmail window to /var/spool/mail...and nothing appears! To kmail this directory appears empty yet my mailbox "praedor" is CLEARLY there and can be seen by pine, mail, and simple ls! What IS the deal here? What does it take to get kmail to cooperate with local mail? Why can't it see my very much existing mailbox from postfix? Next, since kmail seems to be prepending an unneeded "/" on the default directory I altered the entry to be simply "var/spool/mail/praedor". Now, when I check mail, nothing happens. No errors and no messages appear even though I know for a fact that mail resides in the directory.
