I assume you are executing bash as a login shell so it reads ~/.profile and ~/.bash_profile. If you are, make sure between ~/.profile and ~/.bash_profile you are only setting MAIL once, and to the correct value: export MAIL=~/Maildir If you are su'ing to the user without typing "su - user" to make the resulting shell a login shell, you will have to put that line in ~/.bashrc. >[...] >> http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-4.html#ss4.6 > >Doesn't say much.

[this may not be 100% correct, it's after a 30-second look at src] If you don't define a default spool in your .muttrc, and you don't define HOMESPOOL (like, ~/Mailbox or something), mutt will look in $MAILPATH/$USERNAME by default. > >Roelof Regards, -pete > >PS talking about bugs.
