- I know of no way to stop NeXTMail from grabbing the mail into its own
- directories, however if you do a
- mail -f ~/Mailboxes/Active.mbox/mbox
- you can get at your next mail mbox. Be careful deleting messages
- though; nextmail can get confused if you do things behind its back.
- If it does get confused, try deleting the "table_of_contents" file
- from the Active.mbox directory.
-
- This method of course works for other mailboxes you may have defined.
