After updating to 2005.0 mutt started claiming that my inbox was read-only. It seems that the 1.5.8-r1 ebuild is built with +USE_DOTLOCK but /usr/bin/mutt_dotlock is not installed as root:root 0755. It needs to be root:mail 2755 to function. Fixing the ownership and permissions resolves the issue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Adding mbox to your useflags solves your problem?
Yep, looks like mbox slipped out of my use flags at some point.
Hope nobody objects if i close this as INVALID?!
Nope. :)
