I give up. Why is it that that every time I try to use xmh, I get: Can't create new mail folder! errno = 2 exiting. Any ideas?

One of the lines should have Path: xxxx where xxxx is the name of the directory where xmh/mh will start storing your mail messages. Does that directory exist? >Any ideas? Can't give any more ideas, one would think that errno=2 (ENOENT) would be what was expected by xmh when you wanted to create a new folder.

Just a wild shot, but you may be mounting some directory over NFS that xmh is trying to write to as setuid root.
