I've got problems, that seem similar, using the 0.99.8.1 .deb.
I'm using Maildir. I've got it set up on a user account to accept mail for root (into .admin), for postmaster (into .admin.postmaster), and for webmaster (.admin.webmaster).
mutt won't open .admin. The message is "error trying to view file". It will let me open .admin as a container, so I can see the subfolders for postmaster and webmaster, and it will let me open these.
sylpheed 0.8.5 (yes, an old version; I'll try a newer one later today when I have access) shows admin as empty. Completely empty, that is, even though its new/ directory actually contains over twenty messages, and it should display two subfolders.
So there's something very strange going on with navigation of folders, or so it seems to me.
Timo suggested I set the default_mail_env in the configuration file.
Btw Timo, that worked for me.
