Thanks, chmod 755 did it. When I did the chmod 01777 /, I was trying to respond o the following error message in Thunderbird: Unable to create lock file /var/spool/mail/sujeet.lock. For movemail to work, it is necessary to create lock files in the mail spool directory. On many systems, this is best accomplished by making the mail spool directory be mode 01777. The attempt was to get my /var/spool/mail/sujeet into Thunderbird via Movemail. Hasn't succeeded yet, although I can see the same quite clearly via kmail. Any suggestions?
This works for me:
[/home/soumen] $ ls -l /var/spool/mail/soumen -rw-rw---- 1 soumen mail 0 Jan 15 16:28 /var/spool/mail/soumen [/home/soumen] $ ls -ld /var/spool/mail drwxrwxrwx 2 root mail 4096 Jan 15 16:29 /var/spool/mail
Any improvements in your thunderbird problem?
