Your $folder may be the source of the problem. My hypothesis: if you
change that (to anything else, pretty much) and open up ~/mail directly,
you'll see it as intended. Since $folder is the directory in which
mailboxes are expected to be located -- i.e. there should be maildirs
*within* ~/mail -- mutt is searching it for mailboxes and unable to
treat it as a mailbox itself.
This helps:
set mask="!^\\.|^dovecot*|^tmp$|^new$|^cur$|^subscriptions$"
Now I just set my mailboxes and everything else is hidden.
