Hello friends,
Thank you.
1) In my networked machine above works fine. At home, there is only
/var/spool/mail/root. No other file is there in /var/spool/mail. Hence my
downloaded mail is still not accessible. How should I create the file
/var/spool/mail/"username".
2)In pine I get my "from mail address" with user name of Linux. This from
address is not suitable for my outgoing mail.
That is, if my user name in Linux is xxx, I get from address as:
personalname<xxx......>
My mail ID is yyy in network mail server. I want the from address as:
personalname<yyy......>, when logged in with username xxx in Linux.
Could not find any hints in man pine.
Pl help.
-Sekar
