problems with Maildir, procmail, getmail
I've been struggling for ages trying to set up mutt on my linux
machine.
I've specified the Maildir mailboxes in muttrc
set up procmail
set up getmail to pop my email
but when i open mutt it wants to use /var/mail/user
i created this using:
sudo touch /var/mail/user
sudo chown user:users /var/mail/user
sudo chmod 600/var/mail/user
This stopped mutt complaining it wasn't there but now when i pop my
email using getmail, i'm lots of error messages returned from the shell
with procmail. its saying the problem is with /var/mail/user.lock ???
none of the messages are being filtered into the right folders as a
result... i don't know what to do next. Any ideas?
