Does anyone know > what I might be doing wrong? What does your procmail rule look like? I originally had one, which worked with a Linux distribution, that had a / at the end of each mailbox. With FreeBSD that didn't work; procmail thought it was a directory, not a file (mailboxes are really just long files). Perhaps check that. Also, does your directory structure even exist? Try mkdir ~/Mail, cd into it and then touch Inbox. See if that helps. Maybe also try this line in your .muttrc: set folder=3D~/Mail > Also the statements for colors that I have defined in my ~/.muttrc are not > being recognized. Mutt just starts up in mono with no error messages. It = just > seems to ignore the color directives. You're using mutt in XWindows, right? If so I've probably got the answer: you need a ~/.bashrc (assuming you're using bash) file. Login windows read ~/.profile, which is why export TERM=3Dxterm-color will give you a colorized mutt login window. But for X you need to put that same line in a file called =2Ebashrc. Then you'll be all set. --=20 David Kanter djkanter@nwu.edu --zhXaljGHf11kAtnf Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use MessageID: jbTOpcAeGqsm3+uOMiuwHAQ7NFu+WLwD iQA/AwUBOO9oNEO/HZKyc03cEQK0awCfU3QhVFuKioVZ0SLarl/kSgY2VDYAnj3f bQpCJKcTcCDo8M+YgbPm0vYB =MTqn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --zhXaljGHf11kAtnf-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
