Hello

either my procmail or my mutt configuration is broken, i cannot read my mbox-mails.
Mutt says "File is not a mailbox". This is strange, as I used this configuration on my former
system.

My .procmailrc looks like this (/etc/procmailrc is empty):

Code:

LINEBUF=4096
VERBOSE=off
DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/frithjof
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
FORMAIL=/usr/bin/formail
SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log
[lots of filtering rules]


My .muttrc has mbox_type set to mbox overwriting the global setting, but that should not matter, should it?
