hello folks i'm using kmail and have been for about a month or so i love it but suddenly when i ask to get new mail the little window appears and says it is retrieving mail but then i can't find it in my "inbox" any ideas would be greatly appreciated One thing I noticed with SuSE 7.1 - the deliverymode option in sendmail.cf seems to have changed from 'background' to 'deferred'. 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.
