I followed the instructions to setup postfix [1], fetchmail [2] and mutt [3] and everything seemed great. I didn't move / save the emails (~200) yet as I wanted to fully read the mutt manual before doing so.
Then I did an update off all my templates this morning and restarted the VM that runs postfix, fetchmail & mutt and all my mails are gone!
I assume this is because /var/spool/mail/user is not part of the VM but the template? ... and I have to bind it to /rw like I did with the postmail directory: mount --bind /usr/local/etc/postfix /etc/postfix ?
If that is so, what would be my best choice? /home/user/var/spool/mail ?
Should we maybe update the mutt page [3] to mention this?
Is there any way I can get those mails back? (I assume no, but ask anyway)
