OK, so I use Mutt anyway, but I'm trying to setup kmail for my Mom of all folks and I can't get it to see the local mailbox -- I didn't find anything productive in an archive search so I figured I'd ask here.
This is an unstable box, brand new user, no garbage or baggage to mung things up -- fire up kmail, it does it's configuration for first time use -- fine, now there's an address book and Mail directory. I went to Configure KMail -> Network "added" the local mailbox as /var/mail/$user told it to use mutt dotlocks, turned on interval checking and saved ... Tell it to check mail, nothing ... pull down the menu for "Check mail here" and select the local name... nothing. There is mail, I've sent it, I get the shell 'New mail in /var/mail/$user' on shell login. Logged out, tried again ... nothing.
