Hello,
The FAQ claims that when the mail spool directory is mounted via NFS, mutt
does the locking correctly. But what about the case of a _local_ spool
directory but NFS-mounted account (i.e. folder directory)? Then, mutt seems
to fail to do proper locking here.
Actually, mutt seems to be locking by using a fcntl (not flock) which
should work even under NFS and hence it may simply be that a locking daemon
is not running on the NFS server. I have not looked at the source, hence I
do not know for sure.
Any ideas? Thanks.
