I'm sure you already realise this, so just ignore me, but mutt only
reads the .muttrc file when it starts-up or if you source it like so:

    :source ~/.muttrc

Also, unless you really want to keep all your mail in one 'folder', you
might be better-off creating Maildir's as subdirectories of ~/Maildir/

 set mbox_type=Maildir              # Maildir is a storage format
 set mbox=~/Maildir/misc            # default archive for saving mail
 set record=~/Maildir/misc          # all sent mail gets fcc'd here
 set postponed=~/Maildir/postponed  # postponed mail needs a temp folder
 set spoolfile=~/Maildir/inbox      # configure procmail to deliver here

..where ~/Maildir/misc, ~/Maildir/postponed and ~/Maildir/inbox are all
Maildir format.
