There is a ~/Mail directory, but it is empty. > - fix your ~/.forward (procmail needs this; man procmail tells you > what should be in it) ~/.forward does not exist at all > - tell mutt to look in ~/Mail I already had the .muttrc file in my home directory set that way, but mutt seems to be ignoring .muttrc. I also went ahead and renamed the Muttrc file in /etc to Muttrc.old, just in case that was where mutt was grabbing its configuration from. But that still didn't help any.
