Log in as root, and touch a mailbox for the user
On Mon, May 22, 2000 at 11:38:26PM +0100, Manuel Arriaga muttered:
| Hi everyone,
|
| I know this is offtopic, but following the advice of some list members I created a
|new account for myself on my machine so that I don't run as root all the time, but
|there is no /var/spool/mail/manel file for it... so when I ran fetchmail I think all
|the retrieved messages where lost; can anyone tell me how to allow this other user
|(=me!) to use email?
|
| When I start mutt, I get a errno 2 message, saying
|
| "/var/spool/mail/manel: No such file or directory (errno = 2)".
|
| Any tips?
|
| Thank you in advance.
|
| Bye,
|
| Manuel
