Do not do this. It is automaticly created ba the system.

Just by typing mutt on a prompt ?.

ls -al /var/mail/erikja
-rw-r--r--  1 erikja users 0 2005-04-07 18:37 /var/mail/erikja

   This does not work.
   The mailbox must be 0600.

No need to 'touch' a mailbox first - let the MTA take care of this.

And postfix will do that, as I type mutt at the prompt ?.

Sorry for asking again, but I also have puzzled with fetchmail, and got it up working. Then I would get back
to mutt, and typed mutt at the prompt, but this occured:

/var/mail/erikja: No such file or directory (errno = 2)
ls -al .muttrc
-rw-r--r--  1 erikja users 98712 2005-01-17 18:23 .muttrc
