The howto there actually begins on this link:
http://mutt.blackfish.org.uk/ (the /storage/ link is page 2 of the
full thing).

$MAIL is usually something you or your system administrator sets up;
it is not an automatic setting on most systems. However,
/var/spool/mail/$USER is the standard mailspool location IF your mail
is delivered locally by a mail server running on your computer. If you
get your mail via imap or pop3, then your spoolfile will be something
like "set spoolfile=imap://user@mailservername/INBOX" or "set
spoolfile=pop3://user@mailservername/"

The link you found is decent. It may also help to poke around
