Hi Lorenzo,

 I have two rather stupid questions as I'm a newbie with Qmail.
 I've just installed Qmail and set it to use maildir-like mailboxes.

 The question is:
 Mutt ask me to specify a file to use as spool mailbox: how should I set this ?

I also use Maildir and have had to put the following lines in my
/etc/Muttrc file

set folder="~/Maildir"
set mbox="~/Maildir"
set mbox_type="Maildir"
set sendmail="/usr/lib/sendmail" #this should though not be nessary now.
set spoolfile="~/Maildir"

 What are the function of the /tmp and /cur maildir subdirectories ?

Maildir/new/ is where new mail goes into
Maildir/cur/ is where readmail goes into
Maildir/tmp/ is possibly for Mutt's temporary files if any. 

 Excuse me if they're RTFM, but I didn't found the answers in the manuals...

have a try and see if if works.
I did for me.

Use the following command:

man maildir

and read the maildir manpage.

If 'man maildir' doesn't work, add /var/qmail/man to your MANPATH in
/etc/profile:

export MANPATH="/usr/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/usr/local/man:/opt/man:/var/qmail/man"
