Hi, Past 10-15 days have been hell for me. I have to reinstall my linux box after it crashed and have lost most of data. Fortunately, I had the backup of all my configuration files.
Since my PCQ Linux Cds were also not workable, I had to use Caldera Open Linux Workstation 3.1, distributed with PCQ Dec 2001 issue. For configuring sendmail with fetchmai, I used install-sendmail-5.5 perl script. I had earlier used it successfully. After configuring fetchmail, I ran it as fetchmail -e10 and it downlaoded some 93 mails from my yahoo account, but when I ran mutt, to my surprise it didn't showed me any new mails, while the old mailboxes were all OK and my procmail receipies and .procmailrc files were all OK and in proper directories. When I carefully checked the mutt opening screen, I found that it was giving no mailbox for the user on the bottom most line. I checked /var/spool/mail and found that in Caldera it was a soft link to /var/mail and then I checked /var/mail, but found that there were no directories in that. So I created manualy a directory - ajitabhpandey for myself(login name ajitabhpandey) and changed the owner to ajitabhpandey. But still the same problem. Fetchmail is properly downloading the mails but where is it storing them??? I am polling for mail from my own login, which should not pose any problems as earlier I had done it. Any help would be appreciated. Suresh, are you there? Regards. Ajitabh Pandey __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
