I have changed where procmail puts mail for each user with the following settings in /etc/procmailrc: PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin MAILDIR=$HOME/mail # all mailboxes are in mail/ DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox LOGFILE=/dev/null SHELL=/bin/sh So now the spoolfile for each user is in $HOME/mail/inbox. How do I change the environment variable so that they are referring to the same location. Currently it still looks at /var/mail/$username Note, I don't need help with how to tell mutt where to look. This is not a problem - I have this configured. Everything works OK, mail is delivered how I want it and I can read it all fine. It is just that since I change the spoolfile in procmail, the shell no longer tells me when I have new mail at login time. I know I just have to change some setting in the shell environment to tell it where the spoolfile is. I have done google searches, and checked all the .bashrc, .bash_profile files I can find with no mention of a spoolfile variable. Should I change things back so that the spoolfile is in the default location? Thanks for help. Mark.
