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 $folder is the directory in which
mailboxes are expected to be located -- i.e. there should be maildirs
*within* ~/mail -- mutt is searching it for mailboxes and unable to
treat it as a mailbox itself.
This helps:
set mask="!^\\.|^dovecot*|^tmp$|^new$|^cur$|^subscriptions$"
Now I just set my mailboxes and everything else is hidden.
Well, I'm not quite out of the woods. Although mutt starts off in my
Inbox (using mutt -f ~/Mail) and it shows everything correctly, when
I change folder, to say view all my mailboxes, then I can't get back
into my Inbox. Inbox isn't listed anywhere that I can see, and the
only way seems to be to restart mutt -f ~/Mail.
If I hit 'c' to change folder it just lists all my folders minus
Inbox. I guess I could make an Inbox folder and set that in procmail
to be default. Is that the proper way? I expect I would need to point
dovecot at it too.
I tried commenting out the $folder as you suggested but it doesn't
seem to help. I also noticed that $MAIL was set to
/var/spool/mail/... so I also pointed that at ~/Mail.
