Cannot delete mails under Mutt

Hi! I still cannot delete mails under Mutt. The output of ls -ld 'which mutt' 'which mutt-dotlock' is: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 484796 Jan 2 07:18 /usr/bin/mutt -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mail 7152Jan 2 07:18 /usr/bin/mutt_dotlock The output of mutt -v is attached.

Mutt

I have tried "locate muttrc" or "locate .muttrc", I do not have both files in my folder or under root. The mails I read are always marked NEW, and I cannot delete the mails. What can I do next?

Re: cannot delete mails

Then, can you tell me how to delete "a few" mails by Mutt? On Thu, Feb 07, 2002 at 05:00:17PM +0100, Markus Boelter wrote: > Hi! > > On Fri, Feb 08, 2002 at 12:01:19AM +0800, Terence Ng wrote: > > > I don't know why I cannot delete the mails in /var/spool/ma

cannot delete mails

Hi! I don't know why I cannot delete the mails in /var/spool/mail/ngterry by using Mutt. When the mailbox has too many mails, I have to use Balsa or Mozilla to delette the mails. What can I do to solve this problem? Terence Ng

Mailbox is read-only.

/spool/mail/ngterry and I get: -rw-rw 1 ngterry mail 494616 Feb 7 00:01 /var/spool/mail/ngterry Did I miss sth to configure? Sincerely, Terence Ng
