Thanks for the response. I have changed /var/qmail/rc to use Maildir instead
of Mailbox. I removed Mailbox and the link on my home directory.
Now when I send a mail to for example to myself, it goes but I cannot read
it. I have created Maildir directory under $home, so it's $home/Maildir but
there is nothing in there!
Where is the mail going to?
What should I check to see if Maildir is working?
I did
% maildirmake $HOME/Maildir
% echo ./Maildir/ > ~/.qmail
as the Help recommends, and Maildir exists, but there is no mail in there...
nor in /var/mail.
The FAQ says nothing about this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
