If you have permissions to do so, ...
touch /var/spool/mail/joe

The file /var/spool/mai/joe does not exist on this system (RHEL 4).
However the /var/spool/mail directory contained the following files
$ cd /var/spool/mail
$ ll
-rw-rw---- 1 cory mail 0 Jan 27 21:31 cory
-rw-rw---- 1 david mail 0 Jan 27 21:32 david
-rw------- 1 elizabeth mail 0 Jan 31 13:56 elizabet
-rw------- 1 root root 68837 Feb 1 04:02 root
Any pointers?
Thanks for you reply Jason.
regards,
Joe.

You may want to start by looking at the access to and of your mailbox.
/var/spool/mail/joe

Hi all,
I am trying to save a copy of the outgoing mail to my Inbox.
My /etc/Muttrc contains the following...
set copy=yes
set record="!"
I am getting the following error when I try to send an email from my
account using mutt...
/var/spool/mail/joe Permission denied (errno = 13)
This error does not occur when I use another email account (joe2) on the
same machine. What could be the problem?
Thanks for your help!
Joe.
