/mail/sent-mail: No such file or directory (errno = 2)
With tips I got here about making macros I've been
able to pretty effectively use mutt for my style of
e-mailing. Many thanks to those who gave pointers. One
thing I'm having trouble with now is getting mutt to
save mail I'm sending. It wasn't saving at all at
first so I began looking into why. I ran across
information on the the 'net indicating I might need to
put a stanza in my .muttrc indicating the location of
the sent mail folder. I added the line "set
record="~/mail/sent-mail"" to .muttrc, but then I
could not send at all. Instead, when I would try to
send mail I'd get the message "/mail/sent-mail: No
such file or directory (errno = 2)". I tried a number
of different things to create a file or directory
called sent-mail under ~/mail: doing mkdir sent-mail,
copying a message to the ~/mail directory and renaming
it sent-mail, saving a message there and naming it
sent-mail, etc . None of these things satisfied mutt.
I still get the message "/mail/sent-mail: No such file
or directory (errno = 2)" when trying to send mail.
What am I doing wrong? How can I get mutt to write
outgoing (sent) mail to a file or folder in my ~/mail
directory?
TIA, James
