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.
