I have a puzzle ....
I have mutt-1.2.5i installed as the recommended mail client on my system.
Compile options are:
System: Linux 2.4.12-ac3 [using ncurses 5.0]
Compile options:
-DOMAIN
-DEBUG
-HOMESPOOL -USE_SETGID +USE_DOTLOCK +USE_FCNTL -USE_FLOCK
+USE_IMAP -USE_GSS -USE_SSL +USE_POP -HAVE_REGCOMP +USE_GNU_REGEX
+HAVE_COLOR +HAVE_PGP -BUFFY_SIZE -EXACT_ADDRESS +ENABLE_NLS
SENDMAIL="/usr/sbin/sendmail"
MAILPATH="/var/spool/mail"
SHAREDIR="/usr/local/share/mutt"
SYSCONFDIR="/usr/local/etc"
ISPELL="/usr/bin/ispell"
I set up two accounts for a new user yesterday. Mutt insists on opening
her mailboxes read-only. Even if I, as root, su to her account and
explicitly run /usr/local/bin/mutt to make totally certain I'm not hitting
an alias, with read_only explicitly set to no in .muttrc, the mailbox is
still opened read-only. File ownership and permissions on the mailbox and
on /var/spool/mail are correct.
Any ideas? Diagnostic tips? I'm baffled.
