I have this in my .muttrc: set spoolfile="~/Mail/mbox" So, I'm not really sure if that's quite what you mean, or if the option is even the correct one to use. When I start mutt, it beeps at me and says "/home/jeremy/Mail/mbox is not a mailbox". I've also tried starting mutt with the -f option and listing the mbox there, but that just resulted in the same error, only mutt exited immediately. I'm new to the notion of bringing in mail, seperating it, and reading it all with different programs, so be patient with me if I don't pick it up right away.
