I decided to set up pop3s and not fight progress. I was supprised to
find my email program retrieving emails from 2005. Once upon a time
my mail files were being stored in /var/spool/mail and uw-ipop3d
wanted them in /var/mail. Actually you helped me with this way back
then.

Now uw-ipop3d seems to be looking where exim was putting files back
in 2005 before I changed the exim configuration to make uw-ipop3d
happy back then.
How do I make uw-ipop3d look in /var/mail where it was looking up to
a couple days ago? I guess I need another clue.
Thanks,
Wes S
