i think both computers think in computer time, not in person time. however the point is a good one - you might make sure that both machines are using ntp to sync the times. do you use biff or anything else that checks your mail? i've had similar problems on a machine that uses mbox, but since the machine i use most often uses Maildir, i didn't bother to figure out what the problem was. if you use mbox you shouldn't list any mailboxes you append to (like trash folders or fcc folders) in 'mailboxes'. also, the comments about using Maildir for nfs mounted folders (especially if they receive incoming mail) is probably a good idea. is the mail spool also mounted over nfs? w
