Note that it makes good sense to put some changes in the system-wide
/etc/Muttrc; for instance, my systems use Maildirs and deliver mail to
$USER/Maildir/ by default instead of /var/spool/mail/$USER mbox files, so 
I put

  set mbox="~/Maildir/"
  set mbox_type="Maildir"
  set spoolfile="~/Maildir/"

in the system-wide /etc/Muttrc.  My users thank me for it.
