It does. :-)

This means that the file /var/spool/mail/mrbill doesn't exist.
Mutt thinks that this file is your incoming mail spool, but it
doesn't exist. Either you have no mail at all, or the incoming
mailbox is in some different location. Where is it? The environment
variable MAIL should point to the correct location. If it doesn't
(likely in this case, since Mutt is apparently looking in the wrong
place), either change it, or use
set spoolfile=/path/to/incoming/folder
in your .muttrc.

That variable only affects the creation of *new* folders by Mutt.
It doesn't matter at all when trying to read an existing folder.
Hope this helps,

(who thinks that renaming $mbox_type into $new_mbox_type would be a
good idea...)
