Are you using imapd/ipopd from the upstream pine distribution or the (unofficial) debianized version? imapd and ipopd is based on the c-client library. The mbox driver in c-client uses $HOME/mbox by default. You will have to recompile it to use $HOME/mail/mbox. The debian libc-client4.7 package has instructions for doing so in README.Debian -- Jaldhar H. Vyas [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It could be helpful to change your $MAIL environment variable. Add the line export MAIL='/home/foo/mail/mbox' without the quotes to your .profile or .bashrc. Relogin, and things might work better. Oh, and change foo to your username, of course. It's surprising how many people forget to do that :) HTH, Chris -- pick, pack, pock, puck: like drops of water in a fountain falling softly in the brimming bowl.
Re: ipopd and ~/mail/mbox
this would work for logins, but would this work for POP3 connections?? i dont think any scripts are executed for them nate On Mon, 3 Apr 2000, Chris Gray wrote: cgray On Mon, Apr 03, 2000 at 01:01:03PM -0700, aphro wrote: cgray I am switching my systems over to using ~/mail/mbox instead of cgray /var/spool/mail/$USER cgray cgray i configured procmail to deliver mail to ~/mail/mbox and configured pine cgray to look to ~/mail/mbox but i cant seem to get imapd or ipopd from pine cgray 4.21 to look there. and there seems to be very little documentation on cgray ipopd/imapd. cgray cgray any ideas? im gonna look into other pop3 packages and test compadiblity cgray maybe qpopper would be better(with my mailbox formatting whatever ipopd cgray uses..) cgray cgray It could be helpful to change your $MAIL environment variable.
