set spoolfile="~/Mail/acm"
Make sure though that your MTA actually delivers there.

man 5 muttrc
spoolfile
Type: path
Default: ""
If your spool mailbox is in a non-default place
where Mutt cannot find it, you can specify its
location with this variable. Mutt will initially
set this variable to the value of the environment
variable $MAIL or $MAILDIR if either is defined.
