Description djohnson 2008-08-08 01:10:37 UTC 
Version: 2.12

Trying to move from 2.6.3 to 2.12.1 on a new machine and cannot configure local delivery for receiving mail (mbox protocol). In 2.6.3 I could specify the mailbox file (/usr/mail/<username>) but in 2.12.1 it will ONLY let me configure a directory. Then when trying to pick up the mail it complains that I've configured a directory. Cannot use this thing to get local mail.


Distribution: Fedora release 8 (Werewolf)

According to bug 352346 this should be fixed in 2.12. Please check whether you have chosen the correct account type.

Works in 2.12.3 (downloaded and installed last night).

Thanks!
