That doesn't seem to work. No matter what I do Mutt uses ~/mbox as my mbox. Everytime I exit mutt it asks me if I want to move my read messages to /home/pobega/mbox, not /home/pobega/mail/mbox (As it should be asking, to my understanding) > > Currently I'm not subscribed to the mutt-users list, so CC me if you > > respond to this message.

It wouldn't let me send any mail to the list without subscribing. So no more need to CC me (I forgot that I had that in the initial message and I resent it without editing that bit out).
