Using mail from a fresh mailutils build (sync'd a few hours ago):

address@hidden:~/test$ ~/mailutils/mail/mail -n -f`pwd`/mailbox

I don't think mail needs to be setgid mail, I have all permissions to
this file. Even as root, the same error results. Nothing special about
the mailbox, I get the same result on all mbox files I've tried. POP3
and IMAP4 backends work excellently, though.
