sorry, this problem is still not solved,
because every user gets only root mails now instead of his mails.
why thunderbird is looking by every user for /var/mail/root and not for /var/mail/user ?
MOVEMAIL settings:
Code:
Account Settings:
** Account Name = user@localhost
** Email Address & Reply to = user@localhost
Server settings:
** Server Type = Movemail
** Server name = localhost
** User name = user
Outgoing server settings:
** ** Server name = localhost
** ** Use secure Connection = no
Your mbox mailboxes may be in /var/spool/mail/%user% instead of /var/mail/%user%. Make sure that you mail delivery agent is pointing to the correct mbox directory.
If your mailbox root directory is /var/spool/mail then instead of modifying your program you can also make a symblic link by running:
rm -rf /var/mail
ln -s /var/spool/mail /var/mail
Then try it again. Be careful with the "rm -rf" command above, it will delete this entire directory before makingthe symbolic link.
