Okay, that's good...

And that's not.

In my mail store, I have a malidir named "inbox", so I don't get bitten by
this.  The software /should/ map this (in a configurable fashion) to whatever
the system's default mail delivery uses.  i.e. on old-fashioned systems, inbox
probably represents /var/spool/mail/$USER .  On typical qmail systems, it
might be $HOME/Maildir/ .  I haven't written anything especially to support
this.

How so?  I use mutt all the time on my mail directory, but there's nothing
preventing me from simultaneously using a bikini client on the same set of
directories and maildirs.

Uncharted.
