Can I do it? I mean, I am getting 90%+ of my messages by 
synchronizing my $mbox with a folder on IMAP server (by isync). 
Remaining 10% are transferred to $mbox via this .procmailrc

    PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin
    MAILDIR=$HOME/.mail      #you'd better make sure it exists
    DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox/   #completely optional
    LOGFILE=$HOME/.log-procmail   #recommended

    :0:
    $DEFAULT

Therefore I would really like, that mutt wouldn't start on my 
/var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME file, but in $mbox. Can I do just 
following?

    set spoolfile=$mbox

or

    set spoolfile=+inbox # same value as $mbox 

Will mutt screw up when a read message from $spoolfile should be 
transferred to $mbox and it will be the same mailbox?

Why just setting

mailboxes +inbox

(with unset $spoolfile) is not sufficient -- in such case mutt 
still begins on /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME?

        Thanks in advance for any help
