I set up IMAP server and its default dir was /home/<user>/ I just had to add "Mail" to on the client side to access my emails through the LAN. mutt is reading /var/mail/<user> -> /var/spool/mail/<user> I've tryed to modify /Muttrc and /home/<user>/.muttrc to point to /home/<user>/Mail with no success, mutt is still looking in /var/mail/ I'm missing the big picture... What I thought was: Incoming (MTA???) -> fetchmail [*]-> procmail -> folders -> IMAP -> MUA Outgoing MUA -> fetchmail [*] -> MTA | +-> MUA filters for mail folders -> IMAP (for local/LAN copy) Why KMail and IMAP are reading a dir and mutt another??? Shouldn't everything be Plug & Play? [*] my ADSL is not that stable BTW I'm running SuSE 7.1, MTA is postfix TIA ===
