Re: Mutt: "/home/adam/Maildir/ is not a mailbox"

Hmmm... I've read (& shamelessly borrowed) your configs and 
commented/uncommented
everything in favour of Maildir in .procmailrc & .muttrc and when, as 
user, I try mutt I get

> "---Mutt: (no mailbox) 
> [Msgs:0]---(threads/date)-------------------------(all)---/home/adam/Maildir/ 
> is not a mailbox."

The only thing I can think of is that I had created /home/adam/Maildir 
but when I deleted it
because it was empty, mutt told me "/home/adam/Maildir does not exist, 
shall I create it ?"
- I said 'yes'.

However, this is not the same as "home/adam/Maildir/ is not a mailbox".

I'm confused & tired & need an early night. Any constructive insights 
will be appreciated.
