Write protected mailbox, mutt

[Jocke <jocke1s@tripnet.se>]

Hi all,

I did ask this a while ago but never got any real answers
so I will try again with some more information.

I am using fetchmail, exim, mutt to handle my mailing and
I have one .forward file to redirect all my debian list
mails to its own mailbox. 
Lately I have been having problems that this mailbox is
write protected and I can not delete any mails.
I used to believe this was caused by exim locking the mailbox
because I could sometimes delete mails. 
But now I use fetchmail like this:

slayer:# fetchmail -avK

So what I am asking is really how I can have write access to 
my mailbox.

.........
My .forward looks like this


# Exim filter
        if $h_Resent-From: matches "debian-user*"
        then seen save /home/jocke1s/Mail/debian-user
        endif
        if $h_From: matches "Nvi"
	then seen save /dev/null
	endif

It is located in my home dir

-rwxr-xr-x   1 jocke1s  jocke1s       200 Sep  8  2001 .forward
.........

My Mail dir looks like this:

drwxrwsr-x   4 jocke1s  jocke1s      1024 Jun 21 05:24 Mail

and my mailbox like this:

-rw-------   1 jocke1s  jocke1s   1290654 Jun 21 05:24 debian-user
That is how the file is created by the .forward file.
