According to the mutt manual: Mutt supports reading and writing of four different mailbox formats: mbox, MMDF, MH and Maildir. The mailbox type is autodetected, so there is no need to use a flag for different mailbox types. When creating new mailboxes, Mutt uses the default specified with the ``$mbox_type'' variable. So there shouldn't be any difference. Have you defined the mailboxes in the mailboxes variable? Does the "folder" setting point to the right place? What happens when you do a mutt -f $HOME/Mail/<folder_name> ? - Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
