I'm kind of curious how many people this happens to:


After installing Linux, and updating and things like that, I open Mutt, one of my favorite email clients, and it seems to depend on how good of a mood my computer is in.

It asks to create the mail folder, and I press "y" and it will either give me that error that it doesn't have a mail folder, or it works. On Slackware Linux, I've never had this problem, but on every other Linux, even with the exact same things installed and samne setting, it seems to be hit or miss, because a minute ago, it failed on SUSE, yet not long ago, another install of the same SUSE version, worked fine, with the same set up.

Does this happen to you? The Mutt web site has a thing about this, and it makes me wonder why even Root wouldn't have write permissions in the correct folder... Does this happen to you? How do you combat it?

Please don't respond if you've never used Linux or Mutt and saying "that's weird" or something stupid like that, I jst want to see if anyone else has this happen.
