Ok i need some help with Mutt but not really mutt more just Freebsd in general I run freebsd 4.8 something mutt version 1.4 something postfix 2.0.0.16 bincimap version 1.2.3 when i execute the command #mutt i get an empty /var/mail/user mailbox i use Maildir and my mail box is /usr/home/user/Maildir so if i execute this command #mutt -f /usr/home/user/Maildir everything works fine and i can read my mail so how do i set mutt to read this mailbox instead of /var/mail/user i tried the .muttrc .mailrc .bashrc .chsrfile in my users home directory i tried the .cshrc .profile file in the / directory please can someone tell me where to set this variable so that i only have to do it once and it will work for all the new users i create as well please p.s. a general overview on making these type of setting and which files to make them in would be much appreciated as my system is getting messy and i cant remember all the changes i have made or to what files i have made them.
