If you are in "mutt" please post the resultat
if you type:

  :set mbox=<TAB>       (it store the messages read from
                        /var/mail/hendrik before you exit mutt)

  :set record=<TAB>     (it store the SEND/OUTGOING messages)

  :set spoolfile=<TAB>  (the incoming folder)

because "mbox" should be set to "+read" for example,
"record" to "+send" and "spoolfile" to "/var/mail/hendrik".

Greetings
Michelle
