FWIW, I've been using mutt on OS X for some time....works perfectly. I have set my aliases (and other sourced files) as in the example below set alias_file=~/Library/Preferences/mutt/aliases ... source ~/Library/Preferences/mutt/aliases source ~/Library/Preferences/mutt/gpg.rc source ~/Library/Preferences/mutt/send-hooks source ~/Library/Preferences/mutt/save-hooks source ~/Library/Preferences/mutt/macros all of these lines are in the .muttrc file. A note for non- OSX users... ~/Library/ is the canonical place for users pref files (Library/Preferences) and configuration files. I like this as it keeps ~ a bit tidier....
