maildirs not working....
I must be missing something... I got Qmail to work just fine using the "Life with qmail" page. with the default mbox setting. I could receive email and see it in the Mailbox file. OK. I then decided I wanted to use maildirs instead. I did: changed the defaultdelivery file in /var/qmail/control to have one line: ./Maildir/ then I used makemaildir to make the mail directory on my account: maildirmake $HOME/Maildir and made a .qmail file: echo./Maildir/ ~/.qmail I then removed (moved) the old Mailbox. Now I don't get mail. ?? thanks, Jennifer

RE: maildirs not working....
Are there files in your HOME$/Maildir/new directory? If so, then you ARE receiving mail but your MUA doesn't support or isn't configured for Maildirs.

Sorry, that should be your $HOME/Maildir/new/ directory...
