1. Turn off mozilla's options to check mail on startup & periodically. 2. Configure fetchmail & whatever else to place the new mail in mozilla's mail directory, or else just create a link there to ~/mbox or /var/spool/mail or wherever you wish to have your mail. 3. Fire up mozilla & read your mail. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. funny thing is, the extremely simple & logical steps I laid out will work just fine with Netscape 4.x, but it seems that Netscape 6.x and Mozilla can not see the mbox. So: open up Mozilla Mail, and create a new folder. We'll call it mbox. Close Mozilla. delete mbox, and replace it with a link called mbox, which points to the real mailbox that you want to use. Or, leave mbox there, and tell fetchmail to put new mail in mbox. -- -CraigW -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
