Hello.
I logged in this morning and msgchk told me I had 85 messages.
zmailnotify showed me 4 of them, and when I inc'ed it using RMAIL, I got
no new messages. I got the same thing from msgchk after that. What could
be wrong?
Thanks for the help.

All I can tell at this time is that the last time the mailbox
was touched was at 11:38 this morning. I don't know if
msgchk incorrectly reported the status of your mailbox.
You might check your home directory for a file called
".newmail" which is an interim place RMAIL uses to store new
messages. Perhaps you were over the hard quota limit; were
there any other errors reported by RMAIL? These would have
appeared before the final one reporting no new messages.
