I think that this is exactly the problem... I dont know if you are on linux, but in my mounts through NIS to an HPUX machine from linux, I use a 'nolock' option that disables attempting to lock over NFS, and I just use dotlocking. I don't know where to point you for documentation on this (perhaps `man mount`?), because I just guessed at what was happening and the options, and it worked. This way I can still use FCNTL on my local machine (spool file), but mutt doesn't try to specially lock my NFS folders. > That seems like such a hack, and is awfully inconvenient. One good thing is that you can just stick it in your .muttrc and forget it. :) > How do most other mutt users handle deleting and purging messages? > Does anyone else actually use delete=no? I have it purge everytime I leave. I have a trash folder that I copy all deleted mail to (with a macro on the 'd' key), and I rotate and purge that every two months. :) /db
