I've configured postfix following this http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Postfix and emerged mailx. I tried sending some test mail with mailx and it worked fine (the mail is inside ~/.maildir/new), but when I use the command

Code:

mailx

on it's own or

Code:

mailx -e

I get back "No mail for root". The mail is clearly inside ~/.maildir and I have the environment variable

Code:

MAILDIR="~/.maildir"

I can't see what's wrong here. After echoing

Code:

$MAILDIR

to confirm

Code:

env-update && . /etc/profile

had set the environment variable correctly it returns back:

Code:

~/.maildir
You have new mail in /USER/.maildir/

I can't grasp what exactly I have configured wrongly.

Here's my main.cf and master.cf for postfix.
main.cf
master.cf

Thanks for any help you can give.
