This is what it says: ---------------INSTALL.mbox--------------- The basic procedure for switching to ~user/Mailbox is simple: * Move each /var/spool/mail/user to ~user/Mailbox. ---------------INSTALL.mbox--------------- First off, I am assuming that ~user/Mailbox is refering to the file /var/qmail/user/Mailbox. That being correct, ~user/Mailbox is a file, not a folder. Next, it talks about moving /var/spool/mail/user to ~user/Mailbox. /var/spool/mail/user does not exist on my FreeBSD-STABLE 4.0 machine. I don't even have a /var/spool/mail. I DO have a /var/mail/[username] directory, so I am assuming that the documentation is refering to /var/mail/[username], (one is /var/mail/mhoman). How do I move the folder to the file /var/qmail/user/Mailbox? What am I missing here? -- Sam Carleton Please stop by http://www.maineville.net and help my local police force!
