Bug#757841: [kmail] Cannot update localhost mbox
Package: kmail
Version: 4:4.12.4-1
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I would like to use KMail to read system messages sent to my /var/mail/<user>
mbox file but it only seems to work the first time the account is created.
Subsequent readings are ignored.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Create an mbox account and link it to a /var/mail/<user> mbox file
containing whatever messages.
2) See KMail reads it properly.
3) Wait until knowing new mail is available at /var/mail/<user>.
4) See KMail won't show new mail.
