Cygwin can't use any of the normal methods to find my home and because USERNAME isn't set it tries 'USER'. So for a mail-spool dir it looks for /usr/spool/mail/<USER=Bliss\law> The backslash is in the USER var. I would say this is a result of logind corrupting the environment and losing all of windows's expected environment. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
