..... but, yes, you're right, I have :- set record=~/Mail/sentmail ... ... ... mailboxes ~/Mail/inbox `echo ~/Mail/lists/*` `echo ~/Mail/*` `echo ~/Mail/spam/*` ... but why don't I see 'new mail' in ~/Mail/sentmail on the FreeBSD system? Anyway it's fairly easy to fix, I can just move my sentmail somewhere else, or simpler remove the `echo ~/Mail/*` from mailboxes as there's nothing else there which receives new mail now. Thanks for the pointer. -- Chris Green
