.muttrc imap help request



Hi all,                                                                         
                                                                                
I seem to have fixed my imap server issues.  I can login ok.  But I have        
a few .muttrc questions to resolve.                                             
                                                                                
So far, I've converted my old mailbox and spool files to Maildir format.        
They're all in /home/pvimap/Maildir.                                            
                                                                                
My (relevant) .muttrc reads:                                                    
                                                                                
set mbox_type=Maildir                                                           
set spoolfile="imaps://mail.nekophile.com"                                      
                                                                                
#set folder="imaps://mail.nekophile.com/"                                       
set folder=~/Maildir/                                                           
                                                                                
set mail_check=60                                                               
set imap_force_ssl=yes                                                          
set timeout=15                                                                  
                                                                                
set imap_user="pvimap"                                                          
set imap_pass="********"                                                        
set certificate_file=~/.mutt/certificates

My problem is this: if I set:                                                   
                                                                                
set folder="imaps://mail.nekophile.com/"                                        
                                                                                
folders are able to be found by hitting ? and then doing a directory            
search.  [It starts out with INBOX and INBOX.]  However, I then get:      
                                                                                
Create outbox? ([yes]/no):                                                      
                                                                                
when I try to send a message.  Regardless of what I answer, I'm stuck 
w/o sending.            
                                                                                
If I change the folder to ~/Maildir/, the opposite is true.  Sending 
goes off without a hitch.  If I attempt to hit the directories, I just 
see the contents of my ~/Maildir (minus all the .foo.maildirs)

Any ideas?                                                                      
                                                                                
Thanks,
