Subject: Problem Receiving Mail with NeXT Mail

I am having a problem receiving mail on my station (running 2.0).
I can receive mail only from a terminal window by typing 'mail'.
I cannot, however, use the NeXT mail application to receive mail.
The contents of my /usr/spool/mail/username file are not being copied into
my Active.mbox. I have checked the permissions for the relevant files and 
directories and checked both Preferences panels in Mail and everything
looks OK. My station is connected to a Non-NetInfo network, and my
sendmail.cf is simply a symbolic link to sendmail.mailhost.cf, but I do not
believe the problem is with sendmail, since as I stated above my mail
is received just fine in my /usr/spool/mail/username file.

Any ideas or suggestions on what the problem might be would be appreciated.
