Newbie question (ignore if you like rather than flame) .....
I made the switch from Redmond to Linux almost a year ago, and used KMail. Now I'm switching to Mutt as I get more comfortable with the command line. Presently I'm running Mutt 1.2.5 on RH 7.3. I've DL'd Mutt 1.4 but ran into an install problem. First I did "which mutt" and found it was in /usr/bin. So I figured when running the Mutt 1.4 configure script, that I needed --prefix=/usr/bin. So I ran the script and then as root did 'make install'. This, however reported an error in that it wanted to create a directory called man. ./mkinstalldirs /usr/bin/man/man1 mkdir -p -- /usr/bin/man/man1 mkdir: `/usr/bin/man' exists but is not a directory make[1]: *** [install] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kosuke/downloads/rpm/mutt-1.4/doc' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 Obviously it ran into a problem since the man in /usr/bin is for the man pages. So here's my question (at long last!): Should I uninstall the Mutt 1.2.5 RPM, and then just do a default install of Mutt 1.4? I've already been using Mutt and have mail folders, etc that I don't want to lose. I know, I know, this is a newbie question and I should probably just do it and learn, but I've got a lot of mail and no time right now to spend trying to recover, hence this question and request for hand holding.
