If this is incorrect > please inform me so that I don't make the same mistake again :) I was experiencing that kind of warning when using Pine 4.21 under 4.0-STABLE, and had to "fix" it with that silly mode-changing thing. Some time after, I decided to uninstall Pine and install Mutt, then returning /var/mail to root.mail 0775. This way, everytime the users were going to handle their incoming mail, they got a message "Mailbox is read-only". Going again into the silly root.mail 1777 solved the problem, but I definately don't like that idea. Any pointers on how to get rid of that?
