I'm guessing that you mean you have a folder in ~/Mail that you are
trying to complete via <tab>.  But your current directory is probably
not ~/Mail when you run Mutt.

When you are at a folder prompt, and you type some letters and hit
<tab>, Mutt will try to complete from files in your current directory,
not the folder directory.  You can force Mutt to look in the folder
directory by typing the folder character (either "+" or "=") before the
folder name.  It's a good habit to get into.

However, when you press "?" to browse for a folder, Mutt recognizes that
the most likely place you'll want to look for a folder, is in your
folder directory, so it begins browsing from there.
