Mutt: Maildir & "Mail/IN*: No such file or directory"
Adam Bogacki
"/home/adam/Maildir is not a mailbox"
and the terminal telling me that
"find: ~Mail/IN*: No such file or directory"
is there a conflict between the 'Maildir' paragraph
and the following 'Mail/IN*' below [.muttrc] ?

Yes. They have nothing to do with each other. If you're switching to
Maildir, your mail is in ~/Maildir. None of your mailboxes lines are
relevant.
Read my configs again, and comment/uncomment the right bits. :-)

The only thing I can think of is that I had created /home/adam/Maildir
but when I deleted it
because it was empty, mutt told me "/home/adam/Maildir does not exist,
shall I create it ?"
- I said 'yes'.
However, this is not the same as "home/adam/Maildir/ is not a mailbox".
I'm confused & tired & need an early night. Any constructive insights
will be appreciated.

Maildir should be a directory with new, cur, and tmp sub-directories
in it. I can duplicate the error message is I delete the
subdirectories. Are you sure you created them?

The best way to create a maildir is
$ maildirmake Maildir
which creates the necessary subdirectories and sets the permissions
reasonably.
maildirmake is in packages courier-base and maildrop

~Mail means home directory of a user called Mail.
good times,
