Yes, I am trying to set up Mail on plan9 but it is for me like a blind man groping in the dark. I did manage to do it once, but have no idea how I did it! I love plan9 esp. sam and acme which I use extensively. It is great to know that there is a fellow South African on the group. You will understand the loud shedding problems too I presume! Take care, Raoul ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T2c8ba8a0e03893ef-M4220d73022cdcd1f5176850d Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 1217 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

The manual pages take some getting used to, but, believe me, everything you need is held in them. > I love plan9 esp. sam and acme which I use extensively. I can't mix those two, although occasionally I have to. Acme is my choice, Sam has one advantage: Acme just can't operate remotely the way Sam can, from Plan 9 native, a feature I greatly miss. > It is great to know that there is a fellow South African on the group. > You will understand the loud shedding problems too I presume! Yes, nothing Plan 9 can do about that, sadly. Although Acme's automatic "dump" on failure or disconnection has saved me quite a lot of load shedding-induced frustration. I've been using Plan 9 since 1995, you wouldn't be able to pry it from my cold, dead hands. I'm not an expert, like many others on 9fans and its siblings, but I would find it hard to manage without its services. Lucio. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T2c8ba8a0e03893ef-Mdc8b9925f2d1321686991c7b Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Pick an example that suits you and - using the correct credentials - copy it into /mail/lib/rewrite. This for a Plan 9 native system. I am not familiar with p9p's mail arrangement, but I expect it to differ only a little. Lucio. PS: Again, Plan 9 has an extensive log facility, I'm not sure how P9P mirrors that. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T2c8ba8a0e03893ef-M25f5d18c05a03cfa6b129ef1 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
