i know that it won't see it as a mailbox unless it is under the Mail
directory...
i create a mail directory for use in mutt, pine and netscape by doing
this in my Msgs directory:
touch mailbox
...and i have a symlink of Mail to Msgs directory for use with
procmail...so it reads from this directory. I have a link to my inbox
in the Msgs directory to my spooled maildirectory....
ln -s /var/spool/mail/$USER ~$USER/Msgs/inbox
this seems to work very nicely....
