Hi everybody, As a novice to linux please forgive if this mail is to the wrong group and direct me to a more appropriate one.
I have recently acquired and installed SUSE 9.2 - Using Yast2 I configured Fetchmail to collect my e-mails from my ISP, and process them through AMAVIS (antivirus) however initially these were not delivered to my Kmail mailbox. I think (hope) this has now been resolved however I am aware that a vast quantity of "missing" mail is still un-delivered and apparently sitting in a /var/spool/amavis/tmp directory - Can anyone suggest how I can retrieve this mail ?
Hey man, Kmail has something for grabbing Email for you, and that's what you should use if you want to use Kmail. When you use Fetchmail it takes all the mail and makes it local, so to check it you'll want to use either Pine, or Mutt. Mainly mutt. I have my boxes set up with fetchmail too and Mutt is what I use for email without problems. I do have Kmail which is what I'm using now because some email I recieve requires a GUI client, and you should set up Kmail to fetch the email itself to avoid this problem. Just type mutt on a console. If it doesn't load, pop in the CDs and open yast and tell it to install Mutt. -Allen
