How did you install mutt (e.g. as user or as root) and what are the
permissions on /var/mail ? I remember having a similar problem once with my
"userland" installation on a machine where /var/mail was
drwxrwx--- root mail
(or something similar - in any case not world readable). I think the problem
is the locking, then.
