That is weird, I do not have explanation. I would try maildir as Kyle suggested. $ mkdir -p /tmp/maildir/{new,cur,tmp} in mutt - press 'C' (capital C for copy mail) and enter /tmp/maildir as destination. - press 'c' (lowercase for switching folders) and enter /tmp/maildir - you should see one mail; mark the mail as new (capital N) $ find /tmp/maildir -type f Should show one file in /tmp/maildir/new/some_random_filename in mutt - press ':' (for entering commands) and type "mailboxes /tmp/maildir" without the quoting - switch to your mailbox (c =new), or how is it called - press '.' and you should see at least "/tmp/maildir" in status line You can try with mailbox format in similar way, - press 'C' and type /tmp/mailbox. You will be prompted if you want to create one - switch to the mailbox (c/tmp/mailbox) - set the mail as new (N) - switch to your mailbox (c =new), or how is it called - make mutt to check new mail (:mailboxes /tmp/mailbox) - '.' ... If even this fails, I'm out of ideas and I would try newer mutt version. -- Vlad
