kmail - local mailbox - feeling dumb
OK, so I use Mutt anyway, but I'm trying to setup kmail for my Mom of
all folks and I can't get it to see the local mailbox -- I didn't find
anything productive in an archive search so I figured I'd ask here.
This is an unstable box, brand new user, no garbage or baggage to mung
things up -- fire up kmail, it does it's configuration for first time
use -- fine, now there's an address book and Mail directory. I went to
Configure KMail -> Network "added" the local mailbox as /var/mail/$user
told it to use mutt dotlocks, turned on interval checking and saved ...
Tell it to check mail, nothing ... pull down the menu for "Check mail
here" and select the local name... nothing. There is mail, I've sent
it, I get the shell 'New mail in /var/mail/$user' on shell login.
Logged out, tried again ... nothing.
What the heck am I missing?
