I have SUSE9.1 pro set up with postfix-2.0.19_20040312-11
I use amavisd with clam anti-virus and spam aassassin. I haven't turned
up Procmail yet.

All incoming mail gets processed and eds up in /var/spool/mail/joeuser

The client is using outlook97..and it doens't do IMAP, at least in the
normal sense. but it does POP.

I can set up Outlook97 to POP the mail and leave a copy on the server.
This part works fine.

When I launch squirrelmail it checks the mail and moves it from
/var/spool/mail/joeuser to /home/joeuser/mail

Ok, so you guys think it may be a Squirrelmail issue..I hope so : )
