Re: Re: GNOME Evolution cannot lock /var/spool/mail/
Hello, That more or less exactly the same on my side. I should have wrote /var/mail/ in fact. (The old bug affected me too much! :-D) And it is just to read all the emails (root) aliased to my user. Just in case that that a package version as introduce some change to the following: patrice@kos-moceratops ~> ls -l /usr/libexec/camel-lock-helper-1.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 22784 14 janv. 13:15 /usr/libexec/camel-lock-helper-1.2 (no setuid, etc.) Thanks!
Re: GNOME Evolution cannot lock /var/spool/mail/
Hello, Pretty old bugs you dug up: more than 10 and 20 years old ;-) Here (Bullseye, Evolution 3.38, Exim standard setup (local only)), with an Evolution dedicated local account set up to send (server type: sendmail) and receive (server type: local distribution in /var/mail/didier), I have no problem. But: - I directly use /var/mail/didier, not /var/spool/mail/didier (/var/spool/mail is a link to /var/mail) - I use this mail account in Evolution it only for local distribution, I do not send/receive external mails, for this I use ordinary IMAP/SMTP ISP mail accounts (gmail.com, free.fr, ...) - My main use of this local account is to receive various system messages (unattended-upgrades, apt-listbugs and so on)
