I presume this mailcheck: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/mailcheck.1.html (There seem to be several tools with that name.) > ...but it is reporting "No new mail" when it shouldn't be. > > You have new mail in /var/mail/moder8 > moder8@telecom:~$ mailcheck -cs > No new mail. > > My .mailcheckrc file has my home mailbox listed. The first message, presumably produced by 'mail', is reported on your spool file, not Maildirs in your home directory. You say .mailcheckrc specifies your "home mailbox." What exactly do you mean by that? To match 'mail' I'd expect it to be: /var/mail/$(USER) Also check to see if /etc/mailcheckrc exists and see what it points to. (If it does not already, it should probably contain a path, as I show above, that matches the convention of where inboxes are stored on your system.) -Tom -- Tom Metro The Perl Shop, Newton, MA, USA "Predictable On-demand Perl Consulting." http://www.theperlshop.com/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
