Here is the fix to my problem. "You need to set the ' Mail storage format for Inbox' to 'Remote POP3 server' or 'Remote IMAP server'." I had it reading the file directly ("sendmail style single file mbox") Once I changed that setting it stopped showing the email. Thanks for the help guys! --

Wow this is weird because I'm about to make this same jump next week! From what I'm reading so far the big draw back with mbox is the single file with all the emails in it. When you delete a message from that file the whole file has to be rewritten without that email in it. If the box is big

A suggestion: along with mail_location, create a mail_directories variable that contains the search order, so that it can be specified. It would default to something like mail_directories = maildir:~/Maildir|mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u|... I could use this. On one system I manage, I've converte
