root user can read mail files for all unix users, thats your fail, maybe 
crontab miss $(HOME) where it matters, but if it have and you start mutt 
as root it does not help, and you see the problem in allow root to do 
too much

i dont know mutt in detail, but its a fail to start mutt as root

mutt must be started as some-other-unix-login

the remaining fail is then in that users muttrc
