Tell UW-Imap to read /var/mail/mailbox ??
Hi,
I've got UW-IMAP installed on Gentoo. I'm using EXIM as the transfer agent.
EXIM is working fine (I think)... all incoming mail - external and internal goes to /var/mail/username file. I can verifiy this by reading this file directly with nano.
Also, IMAPd is running. It lets me login if I put valid credentials in BUT, it just shows an empty INBOX, Trash and Junk folder in any client I use it with.
Someone told me there isn't any configuration for UW and I certianly, apart from installing it, havnt edited any config files for it.
Is there a way to tell it where the mailbox is stored since it's obviously not reading it.
Cheers,
d11
