Note: you want to move read mails out of Inbox for very practical reasons
-
To not get the message about new email every time you start a new shell.
-
If your Inbox grows big, you will experience a delay when logging in to the server. With a huge Inbox, the delay can be extremely long.

-
By default, all mails are appended to
~/Mail/root
-
To automatically move read mails to
~/Mail/read_inbox
when exiting mutt, add this to.muttrc
set move=yes set mbox=+read_inbox
-
This works even when new emails are not in a flat file but in a folder like
~/Maildir/new
