First, thanks to all who've replied. I've been fiddling with your
replies all day trying to get it to sink in. Your help's appreciated.

set spoolfile="/home/keeling/mail/Inbox"
$MAIL is empty (not set).
... and it's entirely possible that I don't know what I'm doing there.
I'm very new to IMAP (never used it before). spoolfile used to be
"/var/mail/keeling" when I POPped mail from my ISP (and then procmail
picked it up ...). When I login to ISP's webmail, all I can tell is
"https://webmail.nucleus.com/Inbox.aspx";. I'm using OfflineIMAP -->
~/mail, so ...
Damn, I feel like a noob. :-| Creeping senility. Still, mutt works
great and I don't have to stomach webmail mangling my mail into
ugliness. Cheers. :-) Have fun.
