Where is your mail being stored exactly?  /usr/src/ ?  I'd come in as root and 
cat your mailbox >> ~/mail/Inbox or something.  Maybe reflect the changes in 
your .muttrc and then blash (rm -rf) where-ever your old mail directory was.

Of course, you'll want to change your .procmail to reflect where you want local 
mail to go ~/mail/Inbox as opposed to /usr/src/? or whatever.
