Checking/managing /var/mail with either evolution or something similar

[Hubertus Hiden]

Hi Charles

In case your mailclient is Evolution then I think you could create an
account that uses your local mail dir.

If you're using Thunderbird then open Synaptic and install the package
qpopper. After that you can create an additional mailaccount in
Thunderbird with the following settings:
POP3 Server: localhost
Username: <your login user>
Password: <your login password>
USername and Password are the same that you use for logging in to your
ubuntu box !!

Hope it helps
Hubertus
