If there is no mail coming into that mailbox, then the problem has nothing to do with mutt! mutt only reads the stuff. Check the delivery parts of your sendmail configuration. Check that mail isn't actually arriving somewhere like ~/Mail/inbox or ~/mail/inbox instead (and if it is then you might prefer to leave it that way). -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
