After I hit Submit I went to close Postfix Enabler and noticed the 'Setting up Mail.app' button that ends up going to their website, so that's how I found out how. Still, it seems to me that no matter how you've got it running locally Mail should be able to see it if it's a mail server.

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.

I have fetchmail and exim routing all my mail to the local mail spools in the background while my connection is up; most of the time, I'm *not* connected when I finally decide to read my mail. Mail no longer works for this, so ended up trashing Mail and switching to a client that will let me check the local mailboxes correctly.
