Not a real receiver obviously, just an local mailbox account. I have such a local mailbox using the mbox option. Locking is set to FCNTL and the local mail system is putting its mail into it without any problems.

Email system setup with Kmail
Hey all, I've recently been looking at using Kmail (1.5.3) as my email client, in addition to Mutt. But, I'm having difficulty fitting Kmail into my PC's email system. I use Exim for transfer and delivery and Maildrop for delivery/filtering, and Fetchmail to get mail. It's taken a some experimenting, but I found a way to make it all work for me; mostly. Essentially, I've configured Kmail for sending email and I have no Recieving accounts configured. That way, my inbox doesn't get corrupted everytime I recieve email (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=130346). This setup is working nicely for me. I can view email from Mutt and Kmail; changes to maildirs are seen by both clients; and, I can send email from both clients. However, I cannot see where new messages have arrived in Kmail until I select a mailbox. Is there some way of getting Kmail to do mailbox checks for new messages periodically while remaining open? thanks, jc -- Jeff CoppockSystems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User
