You can have maildir and still keep your mail in /var/spool/mail. In this case, each user has a directory in /var/spool/mail. Are you using procmail for delivery? If so, you need MAILDIR=/var/spool/mail DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/$LOGNAME/ at the top of /etc/procmailrc -- Neil Bothwick Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; Teach him to use the Net and he won't bother you for weeks.
