~/ actually doesn't work after INBOX=. I guess I should finally fix 
that. Use %h instead, ie:

mbox:~/Mail/:INBOX=%h/Mail/.mailbox

You're giving only INDEX there, but without any information where mails 
are located. So you'd need:

mbox:~/Mail/:INBOX=%h/Mail/.mailbox:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%n

or something.
