Rep:
Where is my mail?!
I reinstalled my root partition (slackware 8.1) and left my /home how it was. I conected to the net for the first time with the fresh install, and remembering i didnt check my mail for a ling time, i typed fetchmail at the terminal to get my mail (like i used to do before) After 5 minutes and many lines of "................." fetchmail finished getting my mail, so i run pine to read it. (i have a correctly configured .fetchmailrc and .pinerc from the previous install). The problem is, in inbox there are no messages!! Then i went to /var/spool/mail/nskl where fetchmail puts all the mail just to find out it doesn't exist!
My question is where the hell did fetchmail put my mail after fetching it since /var/spool/mail/nskl doesn't exist?
Or if you don't know, maybe you know to tell me some command with which i can see all the new files created in the last, say 2 days, so i can see where fetchmail put my mail, it's important!
