Now *that* is odd.  Do you not set spoolfile in your muttrc?  What if
you try to change folders to ! (that's the folder name); does it work?


% -HOMESPOOL.  FWIW, this is a stand alone machine, hooked to a cable

That tells me that your mail should be found in /var/*/mail rather than
in your home dir, so you probably *do* need a mutt_dotlock with mail
group perms to do dotlocking -- though, again, your system one might be
found and do the job.


% mode, poping mail using fetchmail.

Still, I've never seen a setup that doesn't have a spoolfile :-)

Not when you're saving a message to another folder; mutt has to lock a
mailbox when it writes to it or cleans it.
