Mutt hangs with “Could not create temporary file!” when you try to read your first mail as a user. You even can’t leave the program wie “q” after that. You have to delete /var/mail/ as root to do so. No idea what the problem is here but it makes mutt unusable.
make sure you have write permission to your temp directory. For Linux, it is usually “/tmp” unless you manually changed the $TMPDIR environment variable.
Mutt’s tmp directory can be set from ~/.muttrc. I have
set tmpdir=~/tmp
in mine
