IIRC, there are three types of locking: dotlock, flock, and fnctl. You know about dotlocking from your trip through the manual, but IIRC that's not recommended for NFS. You should run mutt -v and look at how your mutt is compiled to lock and ensure that that's supported on your system. You might find that there are NFS permission issues where, say, mutt_dotlock (which should be SGID mail) can't write to your home dir or some such. % ... % Thank you.
