Did you install to ~/Desktop/mutt-1.5.19? The path looks like a system
Muttrc path. I wouldn't do that, because as soon as you
downgrade/upgrade and the install path changes, your Muttrc won't be
read. Simply go with ~/.muttrc to be on the safe side.

What does the save prompt say and what is $alias_file set to? The
default value is ~/.muttrc so I suspect you changed it. Maybe there's a
typo in there?
