Subject: How to fix READ-ONLY INBOX problem

1) You need to know where your inbox is: eg. /usr/mail/yourid or 
/var/mail/yourid and not the one in your home directory.  Your ISP can 
provide you with that information.

2) Once you know where your inbox is type:

chmod ug=rw /usr/mail/yourid

Which gives access to the user=u and group=g to read=r and write=w to 
/usr/mail/yourid.

Now, when you do an ls -al /usr/mail/userid you should get something like 
this:

-rw-rw----   1 youid     mail      111299 Mar  4 14:13 /usr/mail/yourid

You might also want to do this before the chmod statement, to see how things 
have changed.

I hope this helps.
