Do not change anything and where do i copy them over ?

More exactly:
i've my ~/mutt on my desktop
The messages are kept on a server like this:
server.mydomain.com
/home/vmail/mydomain.com/mess-mate/ and here are
my folders
I login as mess-mate@xxxxxxxxxxxx and acess without any problem my
folders and can send messages.
But at that time my ~/.mutt is no more considered, so no more
send-hooks and wharever.
I've copied my ~/.mutt to
server.mydomain.com/home/vmail/mydomain.com/mess-mate, but it didn't
change anything with my own rigts an tryed also with the vmail rights.
