Create a mailbox. Log in as root, if you have to and go to
/var/spool/mail and "touch tjg"
This is an ls -al of /var/spool/mail on my system

| Hi again,
|
| Though I really want to make Mutt work with IMAP, I've decided to take
| the plunge anyway (What the heck I have some space on my notebook) so I
| have setup fetchmail to retrieve mail from my IMAP account. It then
| pipes it into procmail which filters the mail for me into various and
| sundry mailboxes, and hopefully leaves very little in my regular mail
| spool.
|
| However, when I start mutt I get an error telling me that
| /var/spool/mail/tjg is not a mailbox.
|
| Thanks for any assistance you might be able to provide.
