When I try to execute rmail by typing ``M-x rmail'', the cursor goes
back to the beginning of the mini-buffer and just stays there and
everything seems dead.  As soon as I type ``C-g'', It says something
like ``Counting messages...'' then it tells me that there isn't any
mail and displays the ``If you are seeing this in the Rmail buffer...''
message.

Also, if I execute rmail-get-new-mail in rmail (by typing ``M-x rmail
RET M-x rmail-get-new-mail RET''), it seems to hang again.  I mean
nothing happens; the cursor does a carriage return in the mini-buffer
and just stays there.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Does anyone
have any idea why this is happening?  I looked at the rmail code but
couldn't figure out what was going on.  By the way in my .emacs file I
setq rmail-file-name to ~/.mbox.

Any suggestions/helpful hints etc. will be appreciated.

Thanks,
praveen

Don't bother me! I'm on an emergency third rail power trip.
