Can you tell me how exactly you got /var/spool/mail/username into Thunderbird using movemail? I can't seem to figure it out.
From the main thunderbird window, Edit -> Account Settings -> Add Account
Then choose Movemail as the type of account. Update your email id in the next dialog box. That should do it.
Trouble is, it doesn't do it. I have my local mailbox account showing up in Thunderbird after I follow the above instructions, byt the Inbox remains resolutely empty. Any idea where I might be going wrong?
I am using fetchmail & postfix. What is your setup like? You can start testing the setup by sending a local mail to yourself:
$ mail -s "testing" your_login_name@localhost < /dev/null
A mail should pop in your inbox.
