Indeed you did: 8.1 pro, 8.2 pro, 9.1 pro.

Ok, the default mutt in each SuSE version, what ever that is.

You did not post the exact error message.

Huh? :} Your message to /var/spool/mail? Perhaps my english is not so good, or 
your english was not so good (in above sentence), but I do not understand 
you.

I saw that you did mention twice chmodding /var/mail and /var/spool/mail, but 
I did not see you telling which directory mutt wants to create. 

Let me look again at your initial posting... again after carefull reading: no 
need to change what I wrote.

Cheers,
