I am able to make the send part work but it won't receive from
/var/mail/user :-(
It looks like that I do not understand the 'local mailbox' part. I think
that Postfix spools the mail for user in /var/mail/user (as does it does
grow in size) bu nothing ends up in ~/Mail/inbox/new etc. (in Kmail).
BTW what is the function of 'fetchmail' in your local set up (as same host
is also sending and receving mail..)?
