With UW you have two places I know of to keep your INBOX: /var/spool/mail/$username or /home/$username/Mbox (at least I think the filename was Mbox). If you use the latter UW will move the mails from the former when logging in. Solution: Check that /var/spool/mail/$username is empty and then: mv /home/$username/Mbox /var/spool/mail/$username That may be quick and dirty, and there might be other solutions, but I think it'll work since the POP3 server should be able to access the spool file. Keep in mind that the POP3 client will have to be configured to keep the mails at the server or else you won't be able to access them through SquirrelMail.
