[3] Balsa personal-confusion....
Hi,
Well I had a confution about the inbox FILE. I tought i was an inbox DIRECTORY
so i was creating a direcory in the /var/spool/mail named <user>. When i
realized i change it to a file and all works great. It was a stupid error of
mine.....
So when i try to make balsa use the suposted inbox `DIERCTORY; i play and
change with permission and groups of all of these directories: /var /var/spool
/var/soppl/mail. And now i want to return the defaults.
What permision, on whats group and who is owner of the files:
/var/
/var/spool
/var/spool/mail
????
Thanks and sorry for the confution......
PS: Balsa is suposted to be able to recive email from my ISP via POP3 and send
some emails too, isnit ??? (im working on it.....)
