+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Of course, if Anne _is_ using a local mail server, Thunderbird
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> must point to /var/spool/mail/anne. But she can receive mail on
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> the notebook, where that file doesn't exist, so I assume she is
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> using straight POP or IMAP.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> If indeed Anne is using POP or IMAP to collect &quot;local&quot; mail then I
+</I>&gt;<i> don't think she needs to configure a Unix Movemail account in
+</I>&gt;<i> thunderbird. I believe it is that account that is looking at
+</I>&gt;<i> /var/spool/mail/anne. Perhaps she has such an account on Mageia 2
+</I>&gt;<i> but not in cauldron, which would explain why she does not see the
+</I>&gt;<i> error messages on cauldron.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>To be honest I don't recall ever hearing of movemail before this, so I
+don't know where it comes from.
