Re: How can I stop mutt asking me about "~/Mail"?



Please PMFJI.

I do NOT  have  ~/Mail directory set up.
I do have MAIL=~/Mail in my environment.
I also have 
set folder=~\Mail in my /etc/mutt/muttrc 
and nothing except source that file and color directives in ~/.muttrc.

When I start Mutt, I get
"/home/lba/Mail does not exist, create it (YES,n)
I answer yes or just ENTER and a /home/lba/Mail directory is created as 
expected.
However Mutt says /home/lba/Mail is not a directory even though it exists 
with permissions 700 and owner lba.

I've removed /home/lba/Mail several times and restarted Mutt with the above 
results.

Something is missing but I don't know what.
Can anyone tell me what's wrong?
