What directory? I just started mutt (for the first time ever) and it didn't complain about any directory Since you mention setting the permissions on /var/spool/mail that can't be it (and since /var/spool/mail is created by filesystem.rpm, and since just about everything depends on filesystem.rpm, there's no way you could install suse without having it installed)
I looked on the Mutt homepage, and tried setting the /var/mail and /var/spool/mail with a chmod 777, that didn't work either.
There aren't supposed to be any directories under /var/spool/mail (/var/mail is a symlink, you can't set permissions on that), just mbox files where whatever MTA you're using makes its deliveries; and the permissions on /var/spool/mail is supposed to be 1777.
Does anyone else have these problems? How can I make Mutt work? I just deleted muttrc and did an uninstall off Mutt, and I'm hoping I can just reinstall it and try again. I'd really like to be able to use Mutt because I hate having to load X to check my mail.
You don't run X on your desktop? Or do you check your mail from a server?
