Try the following and tell us what it shows. cd to your home directory
and do an "ls -l | grep nsmail" which should show something like mine:
drwx------ 5 andy users 2048 Aug 7 23:39 nsmail
Next "cd nsmail" and do an "ls -l" which should show something like:
-rw------- 1 andy users 2249 Aug 8 00:20 Inbox
If there is no Inbox do "touch Inbox" then "chmod a+rw Inbox" then fire
up Messenger again. The error should go away. If there's anything
different report back with what yours shows.
