No, this isn't something mutt does. You can configure mutt to leave mail
in that location if you want (isn't this on by default?), but it's been
so long, I can't remember.

My procmailrc is setup to move incoming mail to $HOME/Incoming, due to
the way I read my mail this is really mandatory for me. In mutt, I
configured it to read that instead of /var/mail

set spoolfile=$HOME/Mail/Incoming

Search google for .muttrc - that's where I got started. Couple that with
the docs, and I had mutt pretty well configured for everything I wanted
within a week.

Mutt, is the BSD of mailers. It takes awhile to learn the ropes, but
once you get it - nothing can really compare.
