Folks,

I tried to find some more documentation on mailutil without success so
apologies if the answer to this is obvious.

Using the command, e.g. -

        mailutil create /home/test/newfile

results in the error -

        Can't create mailbox /home/test/newfile: indeterminate format

The directory /home/test exists and newfile doesn't. Any idea why this
doesn't work?

Thanks,

 Clive McDowell
