like you are a one-week-newbie, i don't know if you already know the
~/.muttrc file... this is the file where all your muttsettings are
saved...
for closer informations read the 'man muttrc'

you have to put in your ~/.muttrc :
set record="~/mbox.out"
(/home/yourname = ~ ... hope you know that...)
there are a lot of other really interesting functions in the .muttrc ..
(look at format_index , signature , alternates , from , mailboxes , and
all the other functions ;)

filtering incoming messages is NOT mutts job!
use procmail for this.
then read the procmail and the procmailrc manpages
( you will have to create a .procmailrc file in your home directory ...
in this you put something like this:
****************************************************
MAILDIR=$HOME/yourmaildirectory
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/yourdefaultmailbox
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/yourlogfile
LOCKFILE=$MAILDIR/.lockfile
:0
^TO.*mutt.*
yourmuttmailbox
****************************************************
this 'script' for example filters all your messages to the mutt
mailgroup into yourmuttmailbox.
the other mails go into the DEFAULT mbox (in that case :
$MAILDIR/yourdefaultmailbox)
procmail has many other functions!!!
