Re: Permission problems with mutt

["Joe Hansen" <joehansen12@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
