I understand this issue has been explained many times.  I've looked at the
list archive, manual, and the FAQ but still having problems.  Please excuse
me for asking this question again. 

I'm getting the "Mailbox is read-only".  I believe this is because I did not
setgid (not that I know what it is).  I'm not a root on our SGI system.
First I tried to circumvent the problem by trying to forward the mail to a
file in my home directory.  But the mail bounces back with the following
message:

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 /users2/rotatmac/svryk/.forward: line 2:
/users2/rotatmac/svryk/mail.log... User [EMAIL PROTECTED]
doesn't have a valid shell for mailing to files


Question #1:  What shell do I need to write to files?  I can forward to an
e-mail address without any problem.  We have sendmail.      

Question #2:  What's my other option besides calling my sys admin?  Comment
out 'define USE_DOTLOCK 1'  in config.h and recompile?

I've installed Pine as a user without any problem.  Mutt seems to be little
more tricky. 

TIA
