using both mutt with netscape mail

["P. Kallakuri" <praveen@unlserve.unl.edu>]

hello

this is not so much a debian problem as it is a general mail config one. 
 i still hope someone can tell me what's going on.

i alternatively use mutt/netscape mail from work and home to access 
mail. my mail file is in /var/mail/<user>. according to the default mutt 
config., there is a $HOME/mbox, into which mutt used to keep asking 
whether it should move the email to. there was an option i found 
somewhere in mutt config which makes it stop asking this question so my 
mail remains in /var/mail/<user>. however, when i access mail from 
netscape-mail at home, all my emails in /var/mail/<user> are moved into 
$HOME/mbox. so my $HOME gets crowded. how can i stop this from happening?

thanks
