you want ...
set mbox = ~/Mail/inbox and mailboxes `echo ~/mail/*`
and 1.3.22i has a remote security expliot. grab 1.3.27i.

SuSe 7.3, Mutt 1.3.22.1i (2001-08-30)
Mutt newbie here, starting to be a frustrated Mutt newbie. The docs say that Mutt should work "out-of -the-box". Well, mine don't. I installed the one off of the SuSe DVD, which doesn't create me a .muttrc file. So, I went to the Mutt home page, then to the muttrc file generator page and got my initial muttrc file. I have entered my personal data into the file. But, I cannot get mutt to read my mail. In my home directory I have:
/home/jerry/Mail /home/jerry/Mail/inbox /home/jerry/Mail/suse-linux
Here's a snippit from my .muttrc file:
# Folder and Mailbox ###################################################### set write_inc = 10 set sort_browser = alpha set record = "" set pipe_split = no set pipe_decode = no set pipe_sep = "\n" set move = ask-no set mask = "!^\\.[^.]" set mbox = "~/mbox" set mbox_type = mbox set mh_purge = no set confirmappend = yes set confirmcreate = yes set copy = yes set default_hook = "~f %s !~P | (~P ~C %s)" set fcc_attach = yes set fcc_clear = no set folder = "~/Mail" set folder_format = "%2C %t %N %F %2l %-8.8u %-8.8g %8s %d %f" set force_name = no
The problem is, every time I start up Mutt it says: Mutt:-----(no mailbox) No such file or directory
I have downloaded my mail with fetchmail into my suse-linux box. How do I get Mutt to read it?
Thanks for advice, Jerry
