Dear Steve,
I've been round this loop, too! Due to Arachne's contorted 'logic'
(?), you'll find that the error page (which initially probably WAS
valid, due to wrong directory or whatever) has been cached. Now every
time you try reading the mail, the error page is fetched from the cache,
EVEN IF THE ERROR HAS GONE AWAY!!!
Here's the solution: Press 'I' for Inbox. When the error comes up,
press the DEL key to remove the error page from cache. Now press 'I'
again and - if your directories, etc., are all in place - you should get
somewhere.
Hope this helps!
Ron.
