I've had that problem out work. Our solution was to compile mutt without the 'fctlock' option (or something like that). I don't remember offhand, but you could just try ./configure --help, and should be able to figure it out. This is good if you don't know how to (or can't, in my case) change the nfs setup. -- David Roundy http://civet.berkeley.edu/droundy/
