Your $folder may be the source of the problem. My hypothesis: if you change that (to anything else, pretty much) and open up ~/mail directly, you'll see it as intended. Since $folder is the directory in which mailboxes are expected to be located -- i.e. there should be maildirs *within* ~/mail -- mutt is searching it for mailboxes and unable to treat it as a mailbox itself. -- David Champion • d...@bikeshed.us
