Inbox folder doesn't work anymore

[Luciano ES]

I believe the problem has been fixed, though I don't really understand 
why... yet. I'll have to catch up with a lot of reading before I can 
really understand.

I took a new approach and attacked my muttrc file rather than the 
inbox folder. I deleted about half of all lines in it and launched 
mutt and... Problem gone!

So I restored all lines and repeated the elimination process a few 
times until I zeroed in on one line:

set folder="$HOME/Mail/inbox"

When that one line is commented out, the problem disappears.

Please tell me why if you feel like it. Who knows why I even added 
it in the first place. Probably copied from some .muttrc file shared 
and spotted in the wild.

Mutt seems to be working again and I'll be reading docs and fine 
tuning it to my very specific tastes.

I'll stick around so I get to read about the subject more often and 
keep learning.

Feel free to add any comments you may feel like. They will be very 
welcome. Otherwise, thank you very much for all the attention.

All the best,
