Please do _all_ of the following: (Here, $ is the shell prompt)

$ cd                    # Let's just be sure we are in ~
$ touch .muttdebug0
$ ls -a | more          # Did you previously omit the '-a'?
                        ###################################

If there is still no .muttdebug0, then you will have received some form
of "permission denied" error message, and should show us the output of:

$ ls -ld

so we can advise on the permissions.

But my 2c is on you having omitted the -a from the ls command, needed to
display invisible files. (man ls)
