SuSe 7.3, Mutt 1.3.22.1i (2001-08-30)
Mutt newbie here, starting to be a frustrated Mutt newbie. The docs say that
Mutt should work "out-of -the-box". Well, mine don't. I installed the one off of
the SuSe DVD, which doesn't create me a .muttrc file. So, I went to the Mutt
home page, then to the muttrc file generator page and got my initial muttrc
file. I have entered my personal data into the file. But, I cannot get mutt to
read my mail. In my home directory I have:
/home/jerry/Mail
/home/jerry/Mail/inbox
/home/jerry/Mail/suse-linux
Here's a snippit from my .muttrc file:
# Folder and Mailbox ######################################################
set write_inc = 10
set sort_browser = alpha
set record = ""
set pipe_split = no
set pipe_decode = no
set pipe_sep = "\n"
set move = ask-no
set mask = "!^\\.[^.]"
set mbox = "~/mbox"
set mbox_type = mbox
set mh_purge = no
set confirmappend = yes
set confirmcreate = yes
set copy = yes
set default_hook = "~f %s !~P | (~P ~C %s)"
set fcc_attach = yes
set fcc_clear = no
set folder = "~/Mail"
set folder_format = "%2C %t %N %F %2l %-8.8u %-8.8g %8s %d %f"
set force_name = no
The problem is, every time I start up Mutt it says: Mutt:-----(no mailbox)
No such file or directory
I have downloaded my mail with fetchmail into my suse-linux box. How do I get
Mutt to read it?
Thanks for advice,
Jerry
