	OK, first off, it's usually a nicer solution to customize your
own ~/.muttrc as opposed to the global one.  Especially if you're
putting things like your email password in there.  I know that no one
else will probably ever be using your machine, but it's just good
practice.

	Secondly, it's a bad, bad, BAD idea to always log in as root.
Create yourself an account (email if you need help with this) and log
in as that.  You should never log in as root unless you *really* need
to.  All of your day-to-day activities should be done through your
normal user account.

	What values did you assign (in .muttrc) to these variables:
