Options:
1. tell mutt your spool is /var/mail/paulf:
set spoolfile="/var/mail/paulf"
(if that's a Maildir, end it with a /)
2. tell fetchmail to deliver via a local agent that will put
things where you want them, like procmail or mailfilter or...
anyway, use the 'mda' config in fetchmail's config file to
specify that.
