Well I rebooted the machine and verified that postfix is running. I
tweeked the 'fetchmail' config so that mail isn't removed from the
server when I execute the program. Ran fetchmail and nothing. I've even
tried elm since I hadn't run that yet to ensure that I hadn't changed
something important in the pine settings. when running the ls-l command
that was recommended it still remains '0'.
Any other suggestions? I've a feeling that it's something simple that I
missed, perhaps in my initial installation?
