I've just compiled mutt for use on a BSDI machine. As I don't have access to root, I've set the install prefix to my home directory. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be able to read my spoolfile, even though it knows where it is. I guess this has something to do with permissions, but I'm not sure how to go about fixing it. It reads mailboxes under ~/Mail/ just fine. The older, /usr/ version of mutt installed on the machine works okay - but I want to use the 0.95i features. Can anyone help? d.
