The Redbrick mail system is changing on Monday August 4th.
Your mail will no longer be delivered to a ~/.mailspool file, instead
it will be delivered to a directory called ~/Maildir/. This change will
allow us to offer IMAP/Webmail services to our members.
(For more information about Maildir format consult:
http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html )
On August 4th, all Redbrick members will automatically be converted
to the new format. (We ask procmail users to convert earlier if possible,
details in a seperate mail)
If you are a mutt/pine user with a special configuration file (~/.muttrc
or ~/.pinerc) then you will be required to change your configuration files
manually. After the conversion sample files will be placed in
~/.muttrc.suggested and ~/.pinerc.suggested. Failure to make the required
changes could result in not being able to read newly delivered mail.
Assistance in converting your mail and/or editing your
configuration files is available from here:

If still in doubt about what changes to make contact the helpdesk team
who are available to assist and may be contacted at helpdesk(a)redbrick.dcu.ie .
Regards,
Redbrick Admin Team.
