I recall seeing something about this. Basically, it said that
there are MUA folders, and MDA/MAA (MAA = Mail Access Agent, eg. POP/IMAP
server) folders. The ~/Mail ones you have are MUA folders, as they're
used by Mutt. The ones that you might find in eg. ~/Maildir are MDA/MAA
folders, and are used by courier-imap (which squirrelmail uses). In the
case of the Maildir system, it just so happens that the MDA/MAA folders
are stored in your home dir. The basic advice of whoever told me this was
"They're different things -- don't mix them".
To get them to play together, but still comply with his
advice, make Mutt access all the mail via IMAP.
