After pressing 'c', you can use '!' to go to what mutt considers your
"inbox" ($spoolfile), and '=' or '+' to go to $folder.
If you have $folder set as ~/Mail, mutt will start there without you
passing '-f ~/Mail'. I've noticed you using ~/mail and ~/Mail at
different times, which is it? What does dovecot think it is? What does
mutt think it is?
