Or because nothing or nobody has sent him mail so /var/mail does not
exist yet. It doesn't get created by adduser, but by the MTA when it
delivers the first piece.
Does mutt exit when it tells you that no mailbox is open? If not (I
would hope not), just mail yourself something. Hit 'm', enter your own
user name (login name) on the box, give a subject, e.g. 'test', then
write yourself a love letter. exit the editor, hit 'y' to send it.
Hit 'q' to exit mutt.
Restart mutt and it should tell you that you have one piece of mail.
Doug.
