It should work just fine if configured properly; actually, most people who run AMS do NOT use AMDS. Try just running cui and typing the command "update" to read your new mail. If it doesn't work, please tell me exactly what it prints out as an error message. If it says something about "set hold in .mailrc" then you need to create a .mailrc file in your home directory and put the following line in it: unset hold There's a long story behind this, but if it is your problem, basically it is necessary because of the way your site has configured Berkeley mail. Anyway, let me know what CUI says and we can diagnose the problem from there. -- Nathaniel

Can we run AMS without AMDS?
Now I try to use standard BSD mail instead of AMDS. We can send mail
through the sendmessages but we can't read new mails from the messages
or cui. I tried to change something in the AndrewSetup file or preferences
files, such as MailboxDir and MailboxFile, but all in vain. Could anyone
tell me how to fix it?
In fact, I 've tried to install AMDS and WP but resulted errors. It is
about lack of some include files, such as bt.h or something ( I can't
really remember). The point is, is it possible to install AMDS and WP
without AFS?
