The following is what i've got:

nl:~$ grep  MAIL /etc/*
/etc/aliases:# See also RFC 2142, `MAILBOX NAMES FOR COMMON SERVICES,
ROLES
/etc/aliases:MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster
/etc/aliases:# BUSINESS-RELATED MAILBOX NAMES
/etc/aliases:# NETWORK OPERATIONS MAILBOX NAMES
/etc/aliases:# SUPPORT MAILBOX NAMES FOR SPECIFIC INTERNET SERVICES
grep: /etc/isdn: Permission denied
/etc/login.conf:#      
:setenv=MAIL=/var/mail/$,BLOCKSIZE=K,FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES:\
/etc/login.conf:       
:setenv=MAIL=/home/$/Maildir/,BLOCKSIZE=K,FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES:\
/etc/login.conf:#       :setenv=MAIL=/var/mail/$,BLOCKSIZE=K:\
/etc/make.conf:NO_SENDMAIL=     true
grep: /etc/master.passwd: Permission denied
/etc/services:ni-mail            61/tcp    #NI MAIL
/etc/services:ni-mail            61/udp    #NI MAIL
grep: /etc/skeykeys: Permission denied
grep: /etc/spwd.db: Permission denied
grep: /etc/uucp: Permission denied
nl:~$ grep MAIL *
nl:~$

But what I need is /home/{$USER}/Maildir/ in order for Mutt to
work with Maildirs. The above /etc/login.conf parts don't do the 
trick and other occurrences of MAIL I can't find.

So what gives? (IOW please help! :)

PS I've read about:

nl:~$ cat .mutttrc
set mbox_type="Maildir"
set mbox="$HOME/Maildir/"
set spoolfile="$HOME/Maildir/"

but am wondering if that really is all there is?
