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.
