IMAP Permissions Problem



Hey everybody,

I'm having difficulty using Mutt with certain IMAP servers.  It appears that
the IMAP servers I'm trying to communicate with have their /var/mail
permissions set incorrectly, and the IMAP daemon is communicating this error
to Mutt.  That's all well and good, but then Mutt communicates this error to
the user, pausing the program for several seconds in the process.  This
isn't a fatal bug, but as I connect to several IMAP servers it's quite a
nuisance.  Here's the relevant output of mutt -d2:
