> how can I get past this first error > /var/spool/mail/tony/:No such file or directory (errno=2) If it's supposed to be a file (as on all Unix systems that I've seen in recent decades) rather than a directory (as implied by the trailing slash in the error message) then the answer is: touch /var/spool/mail/tony If directory /var/spool/mail doesn't have permissions 777, then you'll have to go into superuser mode and do this: touch /var/spool/mail/tony chown tony:users /var/spool/mail/tony or whatever your account name and group are. I don't know if there are systems where /var/spool/mail has permissions lesser than 777. As I think about it now, they really ought to be.
