Re: new mail not visible in mail readers
I am using smail. This behavior has not been noticed until the past few months. Even now it is not consistent. Thanks then; at least I know the general nature of the problem.

Re: new mail not visible in mail readers
I use exim, fetchmail, and mutt, and had a similar problem. Try adding the line 'smtp_accept_queue_per_connection = 0' (no quotes) in the "MAIN CONFIGURATION SETTINGS" section of your exim.conf file. (This solution courtesy of another reader on this list.)

When I used smail, the first message fetched didn't get delivered until all messages were fetched. The more messages there are on the remote server you're popping, the longer you wait for the messages to be delivered locally. However, delivery started as soon as the fetch was terminated. I recently switched to exim. exim starts local delivery right away. The first messages start appearing in mailboxes while more messages are still being popped. I am not a mail expert by any stretch of the imagination. Perhaps the above behaviour is configurable, but that is the way they behaved as installed "out of the box" from Deb 2.0. HTH, Gerald

Could a lagging system clock cause such a problem? No, the mail does not immediately go into the mail folders. Incoming mail sits in a queue for a few minutes. If you don't want to wait, run the 'runq' command. Depending on our MTA, you may have to be root to do this. -- --- - - --- - - - --- Ben Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian GNU/Linux OpenLDAP Core - [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] UnixGroup Admin - Jordan Systems The Choice of the GNU Generation -- -- - - - --- --- -- - - --- - --
new mail not visible in mail readers
I have been having a problem that when I fetch my mail using fetchmail, the new messages do not always appear, at least immediately. Sometimes, I have to run fetchmail a second time, then a few messages appear, and as I delete messages, new messages begin showing at the tail end of the buffer. I use mutt, but with af the mail isn't visible either. Any ideas? Could a lagging system clock cause such a problem? Alan Davsi -- Alan E.
