That generally would need to be mbox-hook =mutt-spool =mutt. The old one probably worked coincidentally, and now it doesn't because you've changed things. > This doesn't work anymore.

It's supposed to work the way you tell it to, provided you tell it correctly. Maildirs don't have any significant special exceptions in the regular build. > Another thing I've noticed is my sent-mail doesn't work anymore as a > Maildir.

If your $record points to a mailbox that is a Maildir, it should write to it correctly as a Maildir. > And finally, related to the spool file problem above, my > /var/spool/mail/username does not ask to move to my mbox location > anymore, even if I leave ~/Mail/inbox as an mbox format. What's going > on? Probably more to do with mismatched mbox-hooks or something. Hard to say without seeing more of your config.
