When I start elm I ge the following message

Waiting to read mailbox while mail is being received: attempt #2

the attempt number keeps going up, but I never get access to my
mailbox. 


I can, however, access my mail through 'mail'.

Can abyone educate me?

Oh, and I have a directory in my home directory called:

~/Mail

which contains:

~/Mail/drafts
~/Mail/inbox

What program created these?

(feeling really green)

Arthur
