sendmail recovery ?

vaworx · 02-24-2006, 02:45 AM

I got into a wired situation. I've upgraded sendmail on a Slackware 10.2 -=> current. I've been using Squirrelmail on mu slackware box for webmail interface. Now when i log in from any account every message is there besides the messages in inbox. In other words all the Trash, Sent, Drafts, personal folders are there but the Inbox. The inbox folder says that it's empty. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

thanks a bunch

I got it fixed. It was soo simple when you know how

. I had to change the permissions on all the user mail files in the /var/mail folder to user:mail. That took care of it. When you get a situation similar like the above mentioned changing the permissions should take care of it all. BTW look here for a similar case:
