- Hi,
-
- We've got a problem getting emacs to read mail with rmail. The version
- of emacs we have on our system is 18.57.3 The system here is the
- IBM RS/6000 running on Aix 3.2
-
- I've been corresponding with the sys admin trying to get the the system
- to allow the rmail command in emacs read incoming mail. Whenever I try
- to execute rmail in emacs I get the message, "Permission denied: renaming
- /usr/spool/mail/ryanr, /usr/spool/mail/ryanr~" It's been suggested to me
- that this might have something to do with emacs running on Aix. Does anyone
- have any ideas of what the problem might be? Has anyone seen any pertinent
- FAQ's in the newsgroups I can look up?
-
- Thanks,
- Richard.
