With redhat the procmail default mailbox is /var/spool/mail/$USER
How can I safely set it to use a file in the users home directory like $USER/mail/INBOX for all users? Or is it safe to do so? I would like to try mutt again and had an idea that if procmail would deliver to ~/mail/INBOX mutt could view all mail folders in the same set folder directory. Does this make any sense? Or could I just make a link to it like so... ln -s /var/spool/mail/jay $HOME/mail/INBOX I know there may be an unforseen problem here with locking the mail spool file when fetchmail runs as daemon mode if you are viewing the file in mutt at the same time. Any advice? Another user asked about setting quotas on mail and this may be the answer to his problem by putting the mail spool file in the home directory it would be subject to the quota on the users home dir. I have now switched from Maildir back to Mailbox but when I pipe from qmail to procmail it sends mail to /var/spool/mail/$USER not the ~/mailbox In pine this not a problem, but in mutt if I hit "c" then "?" it does not show INBOX. To view inbox I have to exit view mailboxes and it shows INBOX separately. I don't like this and would rather view all mailboxes including INBOX (which is the mail spool file) when I hit c then ?. jay -- blahblahblah _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
