1/26    On January 26, 2007, http://csua.berkeley.edu became operational to UCB
        students, alumni, and affiliates once again.

1/28    Where does inbound mail get spooled now? I had no problem moving
        my old spool to /var/mail/$USER, but where is the new mail
        spooling? (Yes, I read soda-changes.) Nothing is ending up in
        /var/mail/$USER/new. Should it be?
        \_ Do you have .procmailrc setup?  If so, I needed to add
           an additional rule at the end (after setting up the
           DEFAULT=/var/mail/loginname):
           DEFAULT=/var/mail/$USER):

           :0:
           $DEFAULT

           If I didn't do that, my mail just shows up as a single
           "msg.xxx" in the /var/mail/loginname directory.
           "msg.xxx" in the /var/mail/$USER directory.
        \_ nope, it's on a different server normal people don't have access
           to.  it's called 'seperation of services'.  The next time
           someone breaks into http://soda.csua.berkeley.edu, mail will
           continue to be delivered since they can't break into
           the machine that is handling delivery of email.  Were you
           in CS?  Do you remember how all the instructional machines
           didn't store your email on your local machine?  Same theory.
           \_ So I have to use IMAP or POP now? Is that right? I used to
              use UCB mail.
           \_ It certainly wasn't stored *locally* on every machine, but
              it was available via NFS on instructional machines.
              It looks to me like it /should/ be showing up on soda.  I presume
              'mead-mail' is where it's getting delivered-to on mead anyways.
              lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2007-01-24 00:58 /var/mail -> /mnt/oh/0X0-mead-mail/
              lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2007-01-24 00:58 /var/mail ->
              /mnt/oh/0X0-mead-mail/
        \_ Absent procmail interference, mail should spool to the Maildir under
           /var/mail/$USER.  If that's not happening for you, something is wrong.
           /var/mail/$USER.  If that's not happening for you, something is
           wrong.

1/28    Thanks for reviving soda! Any chance of getting NMH installed?
        \_ Ok, it's installed in /usr/bin/mh.  --mconst
        \_ Thank you again, and again, and again. Your efforts are mightily
           appreciated. --erikred
        \_ Ok, I think I've installed it in /usr/bin/mh.  Let me know if
           it works for you.  --mconst
        \_ I award you a soda barnstar: *

1/28    I followed the instructions for unfiltered mail to recover my old
        mail but do I need to change any configuration settings in pine to
        be able to read it? I'm getting this error message when I try to use
        pine: "Can't open inbox: not a selectable folder".
