Thanks again. ls -ld /var/spool/mail/paul now says: -rw-rw---- 1 paul paul 422603 Oct 23 12:16 /var/spool/mail/paul But mutt still says the mailbox is read only. Does the -homespool option perhaps mean that I can only properly use mailboxes from my home directory? In which can can I turn it off in .muttrc or somewhere or would I need to redirect my mail to a /home location? (I`d rather leave it going to /var/spool/mail/paul if possible) I`ve looked at the FAQ "http://www.fefe.de/muttfaq/faq.html#common-problems"; but it seems to imply that the system administrator will know what to do!, unfortunately that means me and I haven`t a clue. -- Paul Walton *Powered by* Cambridge *Debian GNU Linux* U.K. *http://www.debian.org*
