Mutt can not delete mails



Hi folks,


I got into an issue with mutt. Problem is, mutt can not delete mails and I myself can not delete the file below /var/mail/.


So I believe, this might be a settings problem, however on my other 32-bit-system it is working. Only on my 64-bit systems it is not working.


These are the settings:


 ls -la /usr/bin/ | grep mutt
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root     root       1169552  6. Jun 21:11 mutt
-rwxr-sr-x  1 root     mail         14496  6. Jun 21:11 mutt_dotlock


ls -la /var/mail/
insgesamt 2052
drwxrwsr-x  2 root     mail    4096 28. Okt 15:12 . 
drwxr-xr-x 13 root     root    4096  2. Sep 18:37 .. 
-rw-rw----  1 myusername mail 2090109 28. Okt 15:02 myusername



ls -la /var/mail/ullhan63  
-rw-rw---- 1 myusername mail 2090109 28. Okt 15:02 /var/mail/ullhan63



groups  
myusername lp uucp dialout fax cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev games users powerdev debian-tor netdev scanner wireshark chipcard kismet cyberjack


So, what is wrong? Or is this a bug in mutt itself? Mutt always mournes, that it can not create a temporary file, but I can not figure out, which or where this temporary file is going to be created.


Any hints are welcome. Thanks for reading this.


Best regards


Hans
