Hi Sam!

You seem to have mixed put your pathes a bit, or it this really what you
intended?

Of cause you can't do that. You set $folder to ~/Mail/outbox, so
that mutt will assume that ~/Mail/outbox is a directory, and not a
mailbox.

set folder=~/Mail           # All mailfolders are expected here and the +/= 
                            # shortcuts refere to this dir
                            
set record=~/Mail/outbox    # All mail you sent out will be saved here

> mailboxes `echo $HOME/Mail/outbox`

Hm, ... so your mailfolders reside under ~/Mail/outbox ?
I'd recommend to take another look in the manual.

$smart_wrap has nothing to with the mail you send *out*. It wraps long
lines in the pager, i.e. for *incomming* mail.
For vim put this line in your muttrc:
set editor="vim -c 'set tw=72'" or set it in your vimrc.

HTH,
