You must define the mailbox type in ~/.muttrc:

        set mbox-type="Maildir"

If you want to use /home/user/maildir  as default for all users, add
the following lines to your /etc/profile:

export MAIL=~/maildir
export MAILDIR=~/maildir

(Otherwise add them to /home/lriva/.bash_profile)

good luck
