I had this same issue when I first set up my mail, but I can't remember
what I did. I believe that I started out the same way that you did.
Do you have a line like this in your ~/.muttrc file?
set mbox_type=mbox
the mbox_type can be either mbox, MMDF, MH, or Maildir. Don't ask me
what the diffs are cause I don't know off the top of my head. That came
from man muttrc.
I hope it's as simple as setting that variable though, I'm not sure.
