    No, what he meant was that his inbox (i.e., the one you usually
get when you fire the program up) are /var/mail/<something> and all
the others. In Debian, most mail is delivered to /var/mail/$USERNAME
(that is your inbox), so it is a good idea to... well, use it :-)

    Your personal folders are stored under whatever directory you set
in the folder options, as outlined by people before:
set folder = ~/Mail
