+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Plain M2 :-) Every time I started Thunderbird I got a
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> message that it couldn't locate the local mail spool (can't
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> remember the exact words). Assuming it meant
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> /var/spool/mail/anne, I touched that, owned anne:mail (I
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> tried root, too), but now the message is &quot;Unable to truncate
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> spool file /var/spool/mail/anne&quot;.
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> I don't have the problem on the Cauldron netbook, so I
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> checked there, and there is no /var/spool/mail/anne - so I
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> guess something has changed wrt local mail. Are we now
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> talking about ~/.local/share/local-mail/ ? What do I need to
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> do now?
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Anne - --

+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> /var/spool/mail/anne is the system mailbox for user anne.
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Thunderbird will be putting your mail somewhere else. I
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> suspect that it will be a dot-directory under /home/anne,
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> perhaps a subdirectory of your .mozilla directory.
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> I think that TB uses the mbox file format. That means that
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> your inbox will be one big file. Perhaps TB is trying to
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> delete the old mails, hence &quot;truncate.&quot;
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> That makes sense, yes. I had assumed that it was talking about
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> system messages, which I would expect to be in
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> /var/spool/mail/anne.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I am using IMAP - not Disconnected IMAP - IOW, I don't store mail
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> locally (though I did previously), so that shouldn't be the
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> problem. All the same, I'll give it some thought.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Thanks
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Anne - --
+</I>&gt;<i> If you are using IMAP, by default it will download a message each
+</I>&gt;<i> time you view it, instead of downloading once and leaving it on
+</I>&gt;<i> your computer. (The plus is easier access from different
+</I>&gt;<i> computers.) I don't know how mozilla (thunderbird or seamonkey)
+</I>&gt;<i> deals with IMAP, but if a message is larger than the message size
+</I>&gt;<i> download limit, that could be the problem. With seamonkey the
+</I>&gt;<i> message size limit is set under account_preferences/disk_space.
+</I>&gt;<i> (free translation from french) I imagine that thunderbird uses a
+</I>&gt;<i> similar location
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> With POP3 (which I use), it downloads the beginning of an oversized
+</I>&gt;<i> message and displays &quot;truncated. If you click on the link
+</I>&gt;<i> displayed, it will then downloads the entire message, then deletes
+</I>&gt;<i> the partial message that was first downloaded. Maybe checking
+</I>&gt;<i> ~/.mozilla/thunderbird/xxxxxxxx.*/Mail/{accountname}/inbox or
+</I>&gt;<i> similar will give you some clues.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>Good suggestion, but the message popup was seen as Thunderbird
+started, not during downloading. Although I think it is &quot;cured&quot; I'd
+really like to know what was happening. Still....
