Another thing to add, if the mail spool dir is not world writable.  Ideally
the mail spool dir should be group writable my mail, or some other similar uid
to avoid other problems.  Hence the use of the sgid mutt_dotlock.

If the machine has the group writable method, you can easily get around that
by using a procmail filter to spool your mail to a file in your $HOME.  For
example $HOME/mail/in or whatever you would prefer, then you'll want to change
your .muttrc and $MAIL environment variable to reflect that change.  Then
dotlocking that will not be an issue.
