I've been using Evolution with mbox format mail for ages - works well. I've set up a new machine - with Gentoo. I have emerged exim and evolution - both are up to date (according to gentoo). I am trying to use maildirs instead of mbox - but can't seem to get evolution to read the e-mail..
exim is...220 posix.co.za ESMTP Exim 4.34 Thu, 08 Jul 2004 14:13:45 +0200 The 'local delivery' section of the config file looks like... local_delivery: driver = appendfile directory = /var/spool/mail/$local_part/ maildir_format delivery_date_add envelope_to_add return_path_add Files in this area look like.... # find /var/spool/mail /var/spool/mail /var/spool/mail/mje /var/spool/mail/mje/tmp /var/spool/mail/mje/new /var/spool/mail/mje/cur /var/spool/mail/mje/cur/1088760502.H748467P16793.posix.co.za:2, /var/spool/mail/mje/cur/1088760784.H586776P16839.posix.co.za:2, [stuff deleted] /var/spool/mail/mje/cur/1089241941.H258817P13568.posix.co.za:2, /var/spool/mail/mje/cur/1089265802.H706565P28714.posix.co.za:2, /var/spool/mail/mje/..ev-summary Evolution says... Ver 1.4.6 (Clicking on the [Help] button) Under tools-->settings-->mail accounts... I have a single account.. Under receiving mail - I have chosen... Maildir-format mail directories (for storing local mail in maildir directories) and set the Path to "/var/spool/mail/mje". As far as I can see - this appears to be the right thing to do - but clicking on [Send&Receive] does nothing... (I get no e-mail) yet I'm curious as to why email from 'new' somehow moves to 'cur' in the spool directory.... and what is that file '..ev-summary' ??? Please someone - what am I doing wrong? The FAQ has no clues, the Mailing List archive over the last few months gives no clues... If I use mbox and have a standard mbox in /var/spool/mail - it works... but I'd prefer to use maildirs. -- . . ___. .__ Posix Systems - Sth Africa /| /| / /__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Mark J Elkins, Cisco CCIE / |/ |ARK \_/ /__ LKINS Tel: +27 12 807 0590 Cell: +27 82 601 0496 _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
