seems ok to me :)

Okay a funny thing that I noticed. Everytime there is new mail in
/var/spool/mail/spavri  and there is no new mail in INBOX, mutt still
shows a new message flag for INBOX.

A little history -- I was using spamprobe with procmail. The spamprobe
database (using pbl) got corrupted and this is when all the problems
started. I recreated the database but the problem still persists. Maybe
I'll disable spamprobe and give it a try.

As I said, even mails for root (suppposed to be delivered to my INBOX) are
getting stuck in /var/spool/mail/spavri.

regards,

Sharukh.
