I am trying to get imapd as distributed in 7.3 to empty (slurp)
/var/spool/mail/user into /home/user/mbox like it does in imap-4.7-5

I think the issue is that the mbox must be in mbx format but I can't for
the life of me figure out how to create a mbx formated file.

Hi:
I am looking for a tool / software to do "automated"
bulk transfer of mail from /var/spool/mail/
to the /home/
The daily per user mail size in /var/spool/mail/
is ~3Mb.
The mail will be read by each user in pine and/or mail.
Any ideas or pointers how to solve this ?

Your pop server want's to put it's lock file in /var/spool/mail. There are
2 common way to do this. Make /var/spool/mail 0775 and owned by root:mail.
Then make your pop daemon (and other mail apps) also owned mail root:mail

Your ipop3d is broken. Setting /var/spool/mail to 1777 permissions is
stupid.

hi,
When does the /var/spool/mail/username entry get created? useradd does
not do it. I have noticed that most of the 'fetchmail not writing to
local spool' problem is because there is no mail spool entry.
Any pointers?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I could think of the following:
Make sure you're alone on the computer. Move the contents of
/var/spool/mail aywhere you want.
rmdir /var/spool/mail
Create a symbolic link named /var/spool/mail pointing to the new
location of the real mail directory.
Let users back in.

G
Thanks a lot. I will try it.

The easiest, not necessarily best, way:

All as root. No config changes or anything re
