If so, you can do (as user) a: procmail -v and lots of useful info pops up, including the last line which shows your system mailbox.

Re: [expert] Help with fetchmail?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I was wrong. The new message WERE coming in and being processed by procmail into their respective KMail folders. The thing is, they never show up as new and unread messages (red text), instead showing up as already read, making it hard to track them. praedor On Thursday 21 November 2002 11:49 am, Praedor Tempus wrote: > Something has gone wrong here.

Re: [expert] Help with fetchmail/fetchmailconf
I don't know about fetchmailconf, but sometimes the old ways are still the best. Try this: # /etc/rc.d/init.d/fetchmail stop # vi /etc/fetchmailrc :wq #fetchmail -f /etc/fetchmailrc That should do it..
