Hi, I just add an account via Edit --> Account settings --> Add other account --> Unix Mailspool (Movemail) But no mail shows up. There was nothing in /var/mail which is link to /var/spool/mail Here is what I did: /var/spool/mail# ln -sf /home/lina/Maildir/* . :/var/spool/mail# ls cur new new.sbd tmp.msf Trash.msf Unsent Messages.msf cur.msf new.msf tmp Trash Unsent Messages :/var/spool/mail/new# ls -1 | wc -l 47 There were 47 new emails, but $ mail No mail for lina and in icedove, there is still nothing. I don't know which parts is wrong here. In syslog it showed me: dove fetchmail[3541]: 22 messages (22 seen) for l...@gmail.com at pop.gmail.com (15228355 octets). Strangely where are those 22 messages, seems I really mess up something here.
