Don't think this the point as from his description I think he does use delivery to $HOME/Mailbox. Do you? Check your startup scripts for this! If so: Try to expand the variable, so $MAIL does contain the full path (eg. /home/graphic/Mailbox)! At least at my private RedHat System this would work. Or try to set a link to /var/spool/mail as *root*: ln -s /home/graphic/Mailbox /var/spool/mail/graphic This one did it on a SuSE-system (which I installed first and don't had the opportunity to touch, as it is the mailing system for about 50 people and I decided to stay at home at nights and weekends ;-), so maybe setting $MAIL would do it as well).
