no messages in mutt

[glurps]

i followed the instructions at QuickStart Guide to Mutt E-Mail but when i start mutt no list of messages are displayed.

i configured procmail to put the messages in ~/.maildir and with less i can read messages in there. mutt is also configured to use this directory and was compiled with USE=mbox.

.procmailrc

Code: Select all

MAILDIR=$HOME/.maildir
[...]

.muttrc

Code: Select all

set mbox_type=mbox
set folder=~/.maildir
mailboxes =default

for mutt to use to use ~/.maildir i had to manually export MAILDIR. otherwise it tried to use /var/mail/username

any ideas what might be going wrong?

.procmailrc

Code: Select all

MAILDIR=&HOME/.maildir
[...]

if it wasn't a typo; it's $HOME, not &HOME

.procmailrc

Code: Select all

MAILDIR=&HOME/.maildir
[...]

if it wasn't a typo; it's $HOME, not &HOME

that was a typo in the post not the actual file.

anyways i think the problem is with mutt as the mails appear at the location they should.

i just checked mine and my .muttrc allso says :

Code: Select all

set folder = $HOME/Mail
