Sharrea, I'm beginning to wonder if it ever worked properly. This is my .gotmailrc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] password=codger domain=hotmail.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]@lydgate.net # save-to-login # only-new folder-dir=/home/anne/hotmail/ folders=Inbox # delete retry-limit=3 It's the folders bit that's causing the problem, it seems. KMail reports Cannot open file "/home/anne/hotmail/": Is a directory and Cannot open file://home/anne/hotmail/ I created the hotmail directory, and an Inbox subdirectory, but then I got the same messages about Inbox. The mail is being collected, I'm sure, because Postfix is sending Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender messages, and I can see the message that was picked up. Can you spot what's going wrong?
