Re: i think i need a mailbox



What I did with my setup (fetchmail/procmail/sendmail/mutt) is
create a .mail dir in my home dir.  The create a symlink from
.mail/inbox to /var/spool/mail/username

Then mutt can create its own mail folders (files) in .mail and you
can easily archive that directory if you want to later.
