Note that it's generally a good idea _not_ to use as complex
software as mutt when working as root.
Instead, create a system alias which redirects any system mail to a
"real" user, and read it as this real user.
Also note that the permissions of the spool file are not of any

Sounds logical to me; I think you'll find yourself p
Well, I finally did a little investigating into how Mutt handles the
Cyrus IMAP server and, frankly, it's not too good.
As a side note, the advice to set your $folder to "{server}INBOX." is
actually fine. Cyrus explicitly names the home namespace "INBOX", where
it is omitted in UW-IMAP.
