Caveats
mutt_dotlock(1) has been installed, but does not have the permissions to lock spool files in /var/mail. To grant the necessary permissions, run sudo chgrp mail $HOMEBREW_CELLAR/mutt/2.4.0/bin/mutt_dotlock sudo chmod g+s $HOMEBREW_CELLAR/mutt/2.4.0/bin/mutt_dotlock Alternatively, you may configure `spoolfile` in your .muttrc to a file inside your home directory.
