[9fans] Mail 447: /mail/fs/mbox/: open: error

In trying to access Mail via Acme, I get this error:

Mail 447: /mail/fs/mbox/:open '/mail/fs/mbox/' does not exist

Is this a bug? Anyone know how to resolve this issue?

I haven't tried it yet myself, but I presume you need to configure and
deploy UPAS (the mail server "mail/fs").

Lucio.

PS: You're the only other South African based user of p9p I am aware
of. Or 9fans member, for that matter.

Hello Lucio,
Thank you for responding. 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

The manual pages take some getting used to, but, believe me,
everything you need is held in them.

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.

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.

I am a relatively new user by comparison. I have been an Emacs user for most of the time. I have a YouTube channel on Emacs called emacs_elements.

I have made some progress. I have managed to retrieve email in Acme, but as yet I cannot send. If I try to send a mail nothing happens. 

My smtp settings are these:
SMTP
smtpauth.mweb.co.za
587
emailaddress@mweb.co.za <mailto:youremailaddress@mweb.co.za>

You now need to change the system settings for upas in the /mail/lib
directory. 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.
