As stated in the wiki, dtmail doesn't start because it complains about permissions. I checked the permissions for dtmail on an old Sun box I have and I noticed that dtmail was setgid. I was able to get it to launch on my Ubuntu machine with a "sudo chmod g+s /usr/dt/bin/dtmail".
In cde/admin/IntegTools/post_install/configRun.src it looks like it is doing the setgid as one of the last lines with "chmod 2555 $DT_TOP/bin/dtmail". For whatever reason this isn't in cde/admin/IntegTools/post_install/linux/configRun.src. I have attached a patch to add this to the linux configRun.src. This is my first time sending a patch in to any project, so I apologize in advance if its not formatted correctly. -Adam
