RE: [cobalt-users] RAQ4R Error - ERR POP EOF or I/O Error

["Jerry Farquhar" <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks!!

That was a big help.  I did as you suggested cd /home/spool/mail (the real
mail directory) and ran "mail -f <username>" but it didn't turn up any
errors.  Is it possible it's something else?  Even non-server related?

Any suggestions about emptying the mail box and re-populating it with the
messages that are in it now?

Jerry

Jerry,

  Suggest you connect to this box (ssh/telnet) as root, then cd
/home/spool/mail (the real mail directory) and run "mail -f <username>"
where
<username> is this users email name.  The "mail" program will tell you if
there is a problem with the mailbox itself (format, corruption, etc).

If the mailbox is corrupted, the easiest thing to do is empty it (>username)
and then try sending a test message to that account to see if that fixes the
problem.

I have had this happen on a couple of occassions, and each time after
"clearing" the mailbox, things started working again.
