mutt read-only mailbox?
A friend of mine is running a debian sid. Everything is up to date.
Since he ran his last dist-upgrade he can't delete mail. Mutt says the
mailbox is read-only. He can send and receive mail fine. entering %
to toggle read-only gives an error that the mailbox is read only. The
filesystem is fine, I can vi the mailbox as a normal user and edit the
files just fine. I removed the mailbox, sent an email, the mailbox was
recreated and is still read-only. No options are being passed to mutt
on startup. Permissions are this:
{0}:moat:/var/mail>ls -la
total 68
drwxrwsr-t 2 root mail 4096 Jan 1 22:45 .
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Aug 16 19:52 ..
-rw-rw---- 1 nomad mail 764 Jan 1 22:45 nomad
-rw-rw---- 1 rhino mail 53041 Jan 1 18:50 rhino
Help?
:wq!
