John: I think you need to provide all more information for any of us to help you here. For instance, let's start with just the fetchmail piece. You mention scripts. I'm not sure why you would use a script for fetchmail. I would expect you'd enable it in daemon mode, probably using systemd, and your ~/.fetchmailrc. Now, if the problem is in fetchmail, you can watch mail being fetched with a command like: fetchmail -avvv Next question regards procmail. Who's handing off to procmail? I presume you have a ~/.procmailrc. If so, enable logging and review the logs to see whether there's a problem in this piece. By the time you get to mutt, all the mail should already be delivered. Mutt is just the user agent for viewing and processing mail for storage or for outbound forwarding. What's your .muttrc look like? John J.
