Do you have the right name for this file? If so, it hasn't helped -- details follow. If not, there is still hope if I can find the right name.

When I exit mutt, it asks me if it should move the mail I've read to
mbox. If I say 'y', all the mail I've read ends up in mbox, as it's
supposed to.

I can't find any file /home/hendrik/mail.
Therre is a directory /home/hendrik/Mail, but it doesn't contain
the missing mail. It just contains files containing messages I've
explicitly saved using mutt's 's' command.
