Hi :) . . . I had similar probs, which solved by : 1. made folder called "NewMail" 2. Pointed settings to use "New Mail", instead of InBox -- best wishes --- ____________ sent on Linux ____________

I too, found this behaviour when using fetchmail and pine. In a console window, run mailq. if you see all your mail, just waiting to be delivered, run (as root) `sendmail -q`. The mail will be delivered to your personal inbox. Edit /etc/sendmail.cf, changing the deliverymode from 'deferred' to 'background'. restart sendmail and you should regain your expected behaviour.
