Steve,
Thanks for replying.
Yes, that is a verbatim message. Funny that the message refers to
~/HOME/Mail and not ~HOME/bob/Mail Rechecked, and the owner is me.
(bob) Permissions seem to be correct. Nothing in /var/log/messages.
Made a new user and result is the same.
As I told Eben, I am going to upgrade in a few days anyway with a clean
install. We'll see what happens then. Would be nice to know though.
