           Summary: continuous error nameing /var/mail/root, not in kmails
                    kmailrc
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.9.7
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: gene.heskett verizon net


Version:           1.9.7 (using KDE 3.5.7-22.fc7 Fedora, Fedora release 7 (Moonshine))
Compiler:          Target: i386-redhat-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.22.4-65.fc7

I can turn off all interval checking and I still get, at about 2 minute intervals, two must click past them, dialog boxes reporting it cannot access /var/mail/root.  /var/mail/root is not in any account, nor is it contained in kmailrc.

This renders kmail virtually worthless since it cannot do anything else while these advisories are on screen.

All rx accounts are configured as local accounts in mailfile format because fetchmail, spamc and procmail delivers it all to /var/spool/mail/gene, running as the user gene, from several external accounts.  Kmail can receive roots email from /var/spool/mail/root, also a mailfile.

Please help, this is very annoying and I need it working on the road starting tomorrow.  I have a daughter dying of cancer about 1000 miles west of here, the 2nd & last of my girls.  I'd like to get there in time to say goodbye.

Thanks, Gene
