Seems like too much work
If you are receiving email in you Unix account, isn't there a mail server running locally whether Postfix or Sendmail? I was able to set mine in Mail up as a normal mailbox, using localhost as the server. If I log into Terminal with another user and send mail using unix's mail command to my short user name Mail finds it fine.

I'm curious if this actually works for you. My experience is that Panther Mail is broken with respect to checking local mail using a server. Installing a POP3 server and checking /var/mail mailboxes from Mail worked fine in Jaguar; Panther's Mail will *only* let me check the local mailboxes if my dial-up connection is active.

If I remember correctly, Mail.app in OS X 10.0 could do this, but Apple pulled this functionality from subsequent versions. Anyway, this is very handy if, for example, you use cron regularly: From the |
