Buid emacs-26 wit no real change. Ran on my machine and got

call-interactively(rmail-get-new-mail nil nil)
command-execute(rmail-get-new-mail)
The file /mnt/snout/home/jpff/mbox is my mail file mounted via NFS.
The/var/spool/mail/jpff file is local and not used except when the mailer
breaks ie never
Best thought I have is soething to do with the nfs on the new server
(Debian stretch). I did try reading mail from a local file and that
worked.

I am running the latest emacs from master but I am not sure when this
started to happen.
My raw mail box lives on a mail server machine on the LAN and i read
email either directly there (with alpine usually) or from time to time
I read mail into RMAIL on emacs on this computer. For some time I
have not read it into emacs but now it does not work, nor for the
other main emacs user. It may have been triggered by a replacement
of the mail server (due to a failing disk possible) as the other user
noticed this yesterday.
Running emacs and looking at RMAIL file I type g, and it fails

Can you try the emacs-26 branch and see if this problem happens there
as well?
Thanks.
