Mutt does *not* tell fetchmail where to deliver mail. Fetchmail delivers mail to the system's <user> mailbox, which happens to be /var/mail/<user>. > Is there any way to fetch the mails in /home/user/Mail/username? I > also use procmail to filter mails. Have fetchmail hand the mail off to procmail and set DEFAULT in procmail to /home/user/Mail/username. from ~/.procmailrc SHELL="/bin/bash" SPOOL="/var/spool/mail" MAILDIR="$HOME/mail" DEFAULT="$SPOOL/pat" you want DEFAULT="/home/user/Mail/<username>" If you pipe all mail thru procmail, what is not directed somewhere else is delivered to $DEFAULT. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org
