I am able to point mutt at a specific mailbox using the command, "mutt -f /home/mperry/mail/readmail" I can also point mutt at another existing folder that I wish it to read. If you just run "mutt -f" with no mailbox name it will show you all the options it takes. -- Michael Perry | Do or do not. There is no try. -Master Yoda [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.lnxpowered.org
