I have a couple suggestions.  The first is to check the value of 
$folder.  It sounds like it is set to the same value as $spoolfile, but 
you probably want it one directory higher (assuming "Mail" is at the 
same level as "Work", "Play", etc.)

If you use the `mailboxes` command, you can alternatively invoke 
<browse-mailboxes>.  This is by default bound to 'y'.  Many long time 
users have 'y' bound to a macro, though, so it may be worth double 
checking and clearing out the macro if necessary.
