Mutt and Fetchmail dumb questions

["Debiandomain" <neutec@debiandomain.com>]

Hello Group,
I just installed slink and then upgraded to frozen. It went ok I think but
now I want to install fetchmail and mutt. I installed mutt and fetchmail and
configured fetchmail and saved the file into my /home/user directory. When I
try to start mutt I get an error /var/spool/mail/neutec: No such file or
directory (errno=2) I have seen this before but in the past I have been able
to get mutt to create my maiol box. But I cant remember. What will I need to
do to get mutt to create a mail box for me. I checked and I dont have a
folder in /var/spool/mail.

Next question. After installing fetchmail I need to make a fetchmail file.
should this file be hidden and what premission should it have?

Thanks guys
