But if you think these applications are buggy.. please by all means contact the upstream developers and provide patches to remove all references to /var/spool/mail. If balsa is checking both /var/mail and /var/spool/mail locations then its probably not a fedora specific issue and is something you should take to the upstream balsa developers and have them strip the references to /var/spool/mail from the upstream codebase if you feel balsa is buggy. Similiarly with each and every application which you have found. Since you took the time to hunt this sort of stuff down, I'd hate for the upstream projects, and thus all the other distributors, to not benefit from your extraordinary efforts. > Don't try look on stupid examples ;> My examples can be no better than your original short list. Perhaps this whole issue is stupid and not worth discussing at all. Either way, I expect you to follow up with the upstream developers for each of the applications you think are buggy and submit patches. > Try answer on some very basig/elementar questio like: if some programs > uses only one location (with full success) why some other tries be "more > smarter" ? :) These are questions you need to ask the upstream developers of each affected program, not me nor the fedora maintainers of these packages. If you need help figuring out how to contact each upstream project so you can attempt to get these potential issues corrected, I'm sure that could be arranged.
