I had everything working correctly yesterday but today there seems to be an issue. According to the logs I am receiving email but when logged into the board it says I have no mail. Also when I connect with my email client it also says there are no new messages.
Below are the log entrys that appeared in /var/log/messages related to the incoming email.

Your suggestion of using :MAIL worked. I was able to see the email there.
I am logged in as user1. (there are only 2 users for now) I am not able to see the email when I tell it to read email or when I pull it in from my mail client (thunderbird) Is is possible that some index somewhere got corrupted and if so is there a way to fix that. I had issues with a couple of DOVENET conferences the other day and I removed the files for them and that is now working again.
I am just wondering if something else may have happened.

Here are the results of the chksmb command. I also did a ;CHUSER to user 1 and still could not see my email

One other interesting thing is that when I connect with thunderbird to check email I do not see anything in /var/log/messages about that connection. But thunderbird reports there are no new messages.

And it does not appear to be sending email now either.

It appears to be showing as I would expect. Here is the the output.

Apparently that is not working either. This email never showed up in the mail list that I posted a minute ago.
Re: Email not workingI sent and email that the log shows if accepting the email. Yet it was never delievered to any mail box ;MAIL does not show it at all.

I'm not clear what you're saying. Apparently *what* is not working either?
