    hello

    this is not so much a debian problem as it is a general mail config one.
      i still hope someone can tell me what's going on.

    i alternatively use mutt/netscape mail from work and home to access
    mail. my mail file is in /var/mail/<user>. according to the default mutt
    config., there is a $HOME/mbox, into which mutt used to keep asking
    whether it should move the email to. there was an option i found
    somewhere in mutt config which makes it stop asking this question so my
    mail remains in /var/mail/<user>. however, when i access mail from
    netscape-mail at home, all my emails in /var/mail/<user> are moved into
    $HOME/mbox. so my $HOME gets crowded. how can i stop this from happening?

    thanks

    -praveen
