What should $MAIL equal for local accounts on a linux server?

I'm on linux, redhat6.2, and in /etc/profile I set MAIL=~/Maildir/
When I login, I get the message:
"You have mail.
bash: MAIL=/home/jstile/Maildir/: No such file or directory"

listing my home dir, I see that Maildir does exist:
drwx------    5 jstile   jstile       4096 May 10 17:16 Maildir/

listing the Maildir, I see the correct subdir's:
drwx------    2 jstile   jstile       4096 May 10 17:16 cur/
drwx------    2 jstile   jstile       4096 May 16 00:24 new/
drwx------    2 jstile   jstile       4096 May 16 00:24 tmp/

I used /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake to make the Maildir in each users
home.

But I can't check my mail.
I read the FAQ's, and it didn't help me to fix this problem.
If there is a specific doc for this please let me know.
