When you leave your $spoolfile (your inbox, usually /var/mail/$USER)
mutt asks you if you want to move the messages you have read into
$mbox. These configuration variables are set in ~/.muttrc. You must
have $mbox set to =~/Maildir. $folder is the variable that tells mutt
where your mail folders reside and defaults to $HOME/Mail, thus $mbox
expands to "/home/astartoth/Mail/~/Maildir". Obviously the tilde is
in the wrong place because of the leading '=' in $mbox (in mutt and
elm, and maybe others, '=' is a shorthand notation for your default
folder location, settable in mutt via the $folder variable).
Read 'man muttrc' or the mutt manual on mutt.org for details on how to
configure mutt the way you want.
BTW, What's with this ~/Maildir thing I keep seeing mentioned? Where
did that come from?
