Also trying to get syslog mailed to Mail.app
Authored by: dhed on Sep 06, '02 02:09:05PM

I have gone over all the hints I can find and followed the original instructions for setting this up in 10.1.5 (which was working before I upgraded to 10.2), but I can't seem to get Mail.app to see my local mail account.

I think I am hung up on getting Mail.app to see the Unix account. In Mail 1.0, you could select an email account with a type of UNIX. This isn't an option in Mail 1.2, just IMAP, POP and iMac mail accounts are listed.

Is there any way to get this selection back so the UNIX account is an option when setting up your Mail.app account?

Local unix mailbox accounts are no longer an option in 10.2's Mail (Grrrrrrrr. Rrr!!) You need to install an imap or pop server now to access your local mail. You can also use the command-line mail program, or install a much friendlier command-line mail program such as pine.
