try opening the location where "old_email" is, specifically: mutt -f <specific-location> ie: mutt -f /home/user/mail/old_mail if it works, in that instance of mutt, transfer/copy/save the files to a new location you specify in mutt. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net
