You should look at the mailbox to see what's wrong with it.

Here, mutt-users is a directory. A mailbox takes one of three forms in
Mutt:
1. Mbox
A flat file. A directory is not a file.
2. Maildir
A directory containing three subdirectories, new, cur, and tmp.
If it does not contain those directories (and only those), then
it is not a maildir.
3. MH mailbox
A directory that contains a .mh_sequences file (as used by MH).
Of these, you probably are trying to use #2, Maildir. But something is
wrong inside the mutt-users mail directory. Go and look there. Compare
it to the other mailboxes in your ~/Mail directory.
