• Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] [ attachment ]

Thanks to only reply from Arthur Darren Dunham so far.
Brought system to single user mode and changed permission and rebooted to
multiuser mode.
I was immediately able to receive my E-mails.

Thanks in advance for all other responses yet to come.

Check the permissions on the /var/mail directory on your box, the actual
directory in /var that lies underneath the mount point.

Reboot to single user and check before autofs starts.
