mutt_dotlock problems

2001-03-08 Thread Murray Maxwell Dancey

Hi All,

Can anyone explain how mutt_dotlock works and where its
settings are kept.

Mutt tries to write to my outbox and tries to dotlock a file
named "outbox." in the same directory.  It cant (for some
reason I cant quite see).

But can I change the place it tries to write the lock file
to instead?

/usr/local/bin/mutt_dotlock is uid:root and gid:mail

So it should be able to write to my home directory, but who
knows sometimes (nfs, nis setups)!

Thanks for any help,

.dotlock can't lock outbox.

2001-02-20 Thread Murray Maxwell Dancey

Hi All,

My system has decided to give me a new error after using
Mutt simply and easily for 6 months now.  

When sending mail, Mutt reports..

"Can't lock /home/murray/Mail/outbox."

The message sends, but it does not get saved in my outbox.

Can someone shed some light on why this may have happened?

Thanks,
Murray
