The problem showed up after setting a new debian 2.2r5 with separate partitions for /usr /home and /var > Show us what Sorry for haven't done that before 0:-) Just made a backup, and installed Debian package for woody (1.3.28i) > mutt -v > ls -lF `which mutt` `which mutt_dotlock` -v details attached (was that a bad idea?)

I'm using no help line, and bottom status line, which shows no '%' sign visible, unless I hit it one time (which tells me that mode changed to rean-only (ie. hanges will not be written, or so). > % msg is still there (instead of being moved to +mbox), and marked as New... > % Has somebody seen a similar behaviour? > Yes -- when mutt_dotlock can't lock your mailbox. I've just tried (by hand) locking a mbox, and mutt complains and reads it RO, after prompting to remove locks, or RW if I let it remove the locks. If I enter the mbox, read, force a sync ($), and quit, it does update. -- Rafael C.
