Mutt and /var/spool/mail
Third time lucky with this one.
After uninstalling a perfectly serviceable version of Mutt in order to
install Mutt-ja I now find that my mailbox is read only. I`ve RTFM and
think that this may have something to do with the -homespool option and
setgid but to be honest I`m still a bit of a newbie and can`t work out
the solution at all. Both times I installed from .debs using dpkg.
mutt -v is as follows:
System: Linux 2.0.36 [using slang 10202]
Compile options:
-DOMAIN
-HOMESPOOL -USE_SETGID +USE_DOTLOCK -USE_FCNTL -USE_FLOCK
+USE_IMAP +USE_POP +HAVE_REGCOMP -USE_GNU_REGEX +HAVE_COLOR
+HAVE_PGP2 -BUFFY_SIZE
-EXACT_ADDRESS +ENABLE_NLS
SENDMAIL="/usr/sbin/sendmail"
MAILPATH="/var/spool/mail"
SHAREDIR="/usr/share/mutt"
SYSCONFDIR="/etc"
ISPELL="/usr/bin/ispell"
_PGPPATH="/usr/bin/pgp"
_PGPV2PATH="/usr/bin/pgp"
I hope someone can help as I`m sick of using Netscape.
Got to try and get the Japanese Language support figured out next!
