Have you set the variables for your Mailfolder ??
My muttrc contains
set mbox = "~/Maildir/"
set mbox_type = Maildir
set folder = "~/Maildir/"
set spoolfile= "~/Maildir/"
set record = "+.Sent"
set postponed = "+.Drafts"
and it works.
Important is, that the $folder Variable is set to your Maildir (that is
in your case ~/Mail )
folder
Type: path
Default: "~/Mail"
Specifies the default location of your mailboxes. A `+' or `=' at the
beginning of a pathname will be expanded to the value of this variable.
Note that if you change this variable from the default value you need
to make sure that the assignment occurs before you use `+' or `=' for
any other variables since expansion takes place during the `set'
command.
