Is it possible to setup Entourage to read mail from /var/mail/<myUsername> rather than from a POP server? In other words, I want to read mail from the mailbox-format file.
I know that Mail.app can do it:
If you're using Mail.app, first create an empty mail directory:
% mkdir ~/Library/Mail/maildir
% chmod 700 ~/Library/Mail/maildir
Mail.app doesn't actually put anything in this directory. But it needs it to exist.
Then, go into Preferences, create a new account, make it a ``Unix account''. Fill in your details at the top, along with your SMTP info. Then fill in the Account Options tab, set the ``Account directory'' to ~/Library/Mail/maildir and leave the ``Incoming mail directory'' at /var/mail.
Save the account.
The reason for this is I am setting up SpamAssassin on my machine (following the insturctions here
