I believe that's unnecessary, and kind of wrong. That variable

different,
and doesn't use that. I think you can just remove that, and not set the
variable spoolfile.
What would you use in Mutt for configuring the inbox then?
A URL on the command line, like this:
mutt -f imaps://imap.panix.com/INBOX
The variable spoolfile has nothing to do with IMAP, and does not affect it.
