Try putting this in your .muttrc:
set spoolfile=foldername
folder-hook . set spoolfile=$MAIL
This will cause mutt to open foldername when started without any
arguments, but will then reset your spool file name to the usual default
so that "!" and other commands/names that refer to your system mailbox
will work as expected.
