elm
does not want to start, and claims permanently that a
new
mail just arrived. One should try it later on once more.
Solution:
The permissions for the directory /var/spool/mail
and/or
for elm
are wrongly set up. elm
must be able to
write in /var/spool/mail
.
The permissions should be set up in this manner:
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root mail /usr/bin/elm
drwxrwxr-x 4 root mail /var/spool/mail
As root
, enter the following:
chown root:mail /var/spool/mail
chown root:mail /usr/bin/elm
chmod 2755 /usr/bin/elm
chmod 775 /var/spool/mail
