First, please forgive me for my 2nd attempt to post in a Forum!
And btw, the Code Tags tutorial has the fonts and the sizes,
but when I am editing my post none of those fonts and sizes
are not there!
Eudora gave error info,
There has been an error transferring your mail.
and then the POP server [nancy@worf.yyy.com]
said: ERR Mail drop does not start with a From envelope line.
So I did this so I can open the mailboxes:
:
So I checked the mailboxes.
Code:
# mutt -f elena and I get into her mailbox
mutt came up and it's fine.
Code:
# mutt -f nancy and it says nancy is not a mailbox.
So the Server is ok, it's My mailbox is corrupt,
it had to be a bad email in my mailbox,
so Mutt can't get into my mailbox.
So I tried to get in with vi [ # cd vi /usr/nancy/ ] it said nancy does not exist.
I really want to get into my mailbox file but I havent been able to find a way!
Meanwhile, my corrupt mailbox is receiving more and more emails in my mailbox!
If I can get in this file I could delete the bad emails and maybe that would fix it.
Or what would happen if I deleted the whole file?
And how can I delete a mailbox when nancy is not a mailbox and nancy does not exist.?
[CODE]
Does anybody out there have a way to get around this thing?
Since it has been two months March & April
so far I need to get those emails POPed off the the server and to my inbox on Eudora, so I don't loose them.
How can you get into a file when it doesn't have a valid file name?

-rw------- 1 nancy group 21852648 Apr 4 01:00 nancy < this is still growing! >
the path for mutt mailboxes
/usr/spool/mail/nancy
/usr/spool/mail/elena
[/ICODE]
/usr/spool/mail/nancy /usr/spool/mail/elena
Btw, I use Korn shell ksh (Enter)
I can get by with Unix but I am not a expert!
I really need to get my mailbox nancy fixed, so I can reply to all my members etc., people may think I am ignore then...
Thank you in Advance,

Code:
SCO OpenServer(TM) Release 5 (worf.xxx.com)
Worf is our proxy & POP Server, and it runs the
LAN with windows PCs, wk2s & XPs. There are only
two of us that POP the mailbox from the Server
to the client, Eudora elena & me nancy!
Until now we never had a problem.
elena can still POP, her email mailbox is just fine.
We use Eudora and for years we never
had a problem like this, but on March 12th,
I got errors on my nancy mailbox and I
suddenly on March 12th can't POP
the mails off the server's mailbox.There has been an error transferring your mail.
and then the POP server [nancy@worf.yyy.com]
said: ERR Mail drop does not start with a From envelope line.
