I don't know about your disappearing mail problem, but I bet that your
read-only mailbox problem is because mutt_dotlock, installed in the
same directory as mutt, is not running with the mail group id.
To test, see if you can open some other mailbox instead of your inbox
and make any changes. To check, you can also ls -ld /your/spool/dir
and see if it's ownership and permission are something like root.mail
and 775.
Check your make otuput and see what happens when you installed; were
you root?
:-D
