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.
Thanks again,
Jeremy
