I've never used mutt, but did it ask you if it could create a mailbox? Elm does that upon first run. A mailbox is simply a file in your home directory, usually under the Mail subdirectory. Elm (and probably others) use Mail/inbox as the mailbox You should of course also have a mailbox in the mail spool area - /var/spool/mail. It should be the same as your username, and have the permissions -rw------ (read write by owner), owned by you and the mail groop. If you don't have this file, run as root the following commands: # touch /var/spool/mail/warren (assuming that's your login name) # chmod 600 /var/spool/mail/warren # chown warren.mail /var/spool/mail/warren > -warren ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
