Mutt can not delete mails

Hi folks, 

I got into an issue with mutt. Problem is, mutt can not delete mails and I myself can not delete 
the file below /var/mail/.

So I believe, this might be a settings problem, however on my other 32-bit-system it is working. 
Only on my 64-bit systems it is not working.

These are the settings:

 ls -la /usr/bin/ | grep mutt 
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root     root       1169552  6. Jun 21:11 mutt 
-rwxr-sr-x  1 root     mail         14496  6. Jun 21:11 mutt_dotlock

ls -la /var/mail/ 
insgesamt 2052 
drwxrwsr-x  2 root     mail    4096 28. Okt 15:12 *.* 
drwxr-xr-x 13 root     root    4096  2. Sep 18:37 *..* 
-rw-rw----  1 myusername mail 2090109 28. Okt 15:02 myusername


ls -la /var/mail/ullhan63  
-rw-rw---- 1 myusername mail 2090109 28. Okt 15:02 /var/mail/ullhan63


groups  
myusername lp uucp dialout fax cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev games users powerdev 
debian-tor netdev scanner wireshark chipcard kismet cyberjack

So, what is wrong? Or is this a bug in mutt itself? Mutt always mournes, that it can not create a 
temporary file, but I can not figure out, which or where this temporary file is going to be created.

Any hints are welcome. Thanks for reading this.

Best regards

Hans
