Subject: [gentoo-user] The Local Directory path "/var/spool/mail" is invalid.
Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2020 11:11:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4997c1ca-af36-bbe8-0a8e-e4afb3b47265@sys-concept.com> (raw)

When I try to select /var/spool/mail I get an error:

The Local Directory path "/var/spool/mail" is invalid. Please pick a
different directory.

drwxrwsr-t  2 root  mail 4096 Dec 10 10:56 mail

Why Thunderbird can not read that directory?
