OK thanks, I've done the same, used Kmail, and either it works or it doesn't. Generally I reformat and reinstall and try again and one in 3 times will work.
Well, I don't get it. This is too easy, KMail and mutt work out of the box just fine so there must either be something really strange about your setup or you are expecting something out of them that they don't do.
An earlier poster suggested that maybe the issue is that your new user has never received any mail. Did you explore that possibility? It made a lot of sense to me (no mail, no /var/mail/<user> mail file).
Scott LOL, yes, first thing I thought was "OK I screwed it up somehow" and so I checked into it a bit more, so I'm going to try first the options people have given me here, mainly the touch command, hopefully that will work correctly. Thanks much.
