I've tried to install mutt as an user on a Linux Redhat 6.0 box :
$ cd mutt-1.0pre4-us/
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME --with-homespool="Mail/inbox"
$ make
$ make install
$ cat ~/.muttrc :
set spoolfile=~/Mail/inbox
set folder=~/Mail
set pager=less
Mutt starts just fine but when I try to delete a message in a mailbox (for
instance in =leeds), I get "Mailbox is read-only". What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks for your time.
$ ls -al ~/Mail/
drwx------ 2 [me] [mygroup] 1024 Oct 14 20:22 .
