For example, you mention that you use "dovecot" but "mutt > accesses the mail files directly". This is not very clear. Is > "dovecot" accessing the mail box at the time of the crash? Dovecot (package "dovecot-imapd") is an IMAP server. Whether or not it is running, doesn't seem to make any difference. mutt crashes either way. The reason why I mentioned dovecot-imapd is, that, IIRC, the crashes started occurring as soon as I replaced uw-imapd with dovecot-imapd (for reasons of better performance). However, they don't seem to go away again after removing the package. > What are > the permissions? How large are these mboxes? > The permissions of /var/mail is
drwxrwsr-x 2 root mail 4,0K 2006-10-16 11:19 /var/mail/ The permission of my inbox (/var/mail/$USER) is: -rw-rw---- 1 jr mail Current size of my inbox: 36M Permissions of ~/Mail: drwx------ 11 jr jr 4096 2006-10-16 11:21 /home/jr/Mail The permissions of all files in ~/Mail are set to 600, I have a number of subdirectories in ~/Mail, which are all set to 700. However, the issue can be reproduced on other local accounts, too. Therefore it does not seem to be related to any of my mail files. I even moved /var/mail/$USER out of the way and sent myself a single test message. Trying to delete it in mutt led to the same deplorable result as before. I even installed Ubuntu on a separate partition in order to get mutt working. There I had the same result: I mounted my home partition and started reading mail with mutt. At first all seemed fine. Later, I installed dovecot-imapd and since then, mutt has kept crashing. > Provide some way in which someone else can try to re-construct the crash. > So far no one else on this bug-list has managed. > The only hint I can give would be to install the package dovecot-imapd, probably do some mail reading over IMAP (with thunderbird, evolution or whatever) and then fire up mutt again and see what happens. Just tried that myself: Result: ATM I have two computers with three GNU/Linux installs (two Debian, one Ubuntu) on all of which mutt is completely unusable. Now, I've copied all mail and mutt's config file over to a third box (again Ubuntu) on which the bug so far has not occured. I am really, really clueless and increasingly desperate. I had the hope that someone from the developer community would be able to make sense of the backtrace that I had attached to the bug report. Some additional info is also available from the Ubuntu bug report that I created some days ago. https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/mutt/+bug/65543 Thanks, Johannes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
