Hi!
I'm trying to figure out how to use Thunderbird as a local mail reader.
So far I don't see any way to configure it other than as a POP3 or IMAP mail reader, but I get my mail locally and would like to try using Tbird to read it. What am I overlooking?
Several years ago it was possible to use directly the mailbox spool file. As I remember the mail account type was "Movemail".
Google for thunderbird + Movemail
Search got several pages like:

perhaps it is still possible Best regards
