You only need the {cur,tmp,new} subdirectories for actual mailboxes. If
you don't intend to use "~/Maildir" directly as a mailbox, there's no

You
I think i might have some problems with Maildir:
I've got the Maildir directory, with the require cur.tmp,new sub directories.
Then i've got IN-inbox (spoolfile) and its sub-directires inside ~/Maildir.
I've then got 3 other directories for mailing list mailboxes set up in the same
way.
as well

I did try that, but mutt returned a message saying /home/user/mail/inbox
is not a mailbox.
Would that have caused the error messages i got after runnning getmail?

Set mutt's $spoolfile setting to wherever your inbox is.

I've been struggling for ages trying to set up mutt on my linux
machine.
I've specified the Maildir mailboxes in muttrc
set up procmail
set up getmail to pop my email
but when i open mutt it wants to use /var/mail/user
i created this using:
sudo touch /var/mail/user
sudo chown user:users /var/
