So does htis get a new subject in the list? Good afternon All
I was interested to read that Flo, the OP, uses separate mail collection, sendmail and thunderbird. Some of the replies sound like this is a common practice. What are the advantages of this set of processes over letting tbird do it all? - or any other client for that matter? Would it save me from my fairly regular 'can't find profile' errors? Original post: Subject: Problem with /var/mail file > 2GB with pop3 Resent-Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2020 21:52:35 +0000 (UTC) Resent-From: debian-user@lists.debian.org Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2020 22:42:53 +0100 From: Flo <debian...@gmx.at> To: debian-user@lists.debian.org I am using Debian Buster, Thunderbird, Sendmail and popa3d to get emails. The mail files for each account are stored at /var/mail. No it has come to that point that such a file exceeded 2GB. And 'Get Messages' doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know about this issue? Any hints to solve it? I could try a different pop3 server? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Flo -- Keith Bainbridge ke1thozgro...@gmx.com
