Any ideas anyone?
Where is your mail being stored exactly? /usr/src/ ? I'd come in as root and cat your mailbox >> ~/mail/Inbox or something. Maybe reflect the changes in your .muttrc and then blash (rm -rf) where-ever your old mail directory was. Of course, you'll want to change your .procmail to reflect where you want local mail to go ~/mail/Inbox as opposed to /usr/src/? or whatever. Jeff
