I am hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Using debian lenny, I am trying to collect mail using mutt and getmail. I found a howto which is for etch which I have used as I cannot find any lenny specific howtos on the subject. This is what I have done. Installed getmail4 with apt-get nano ~/.getmail/getmailrc [retriever] type = SimplePOP3Retriever server = mail.plus.net username = my username password = my password [destination] type = Mboxrd path = /var/mail/keith I login to the debian system with username keith Now these are the error messages. Running getmail error: configuration file /home/keith/.getmail/getmailrc incorrect path: specified mbox file /var/keith/Mail does not exist. If I run mutt I get /var/Mail/keith no such file or directory I have not created a .muttrc locally so the lenny defaults should apply? I think my problem is to do with the path or lack of a mailbox although mutt seems to be looking for one. Sorry about all this but been at it all day and I think I am digging a deeper hole for myself. I am new at this so please assume I have little knowledge of linux. Thanks Keith
