spoolfile problem

if I use:
set ssl_force_tls = yes
set abort_nosubject = no
set mail_check = 60
set timeout = 10
set sort = "reverse-date-received"
set signature = "~/.mutt/signature"
set copy = no
set from = "[email protected]"
set realname = "Jude DaShiell"
# imap settings
set imap_user = "[email protected]"
set imap_pass = "mypass"
# smtp settings
set smtp_url = "smtps://[email protected]"
set smtp_pass = "mypass"
set folder = "imaps://imap.gmail.com/"
set spoolfile ="+INBOX"
set postponed = "+[Gmail]/Drafts"
set record = "+[Gmail]/Sent Mail"
set trash ="+[Gmail]/Trash"
macro index gs "<change_folder>$record<enter>" "go to sent"
macro index gi "<change_folder>$spoolfile<enter>" "go to inbox"
macro index gt "<change_folder>$trash<enter>" "go to trash"
and didn't touch /var/mail/dashielljude
mutt with this configuration goes nowhere complaining about no mailbox.  I 
encrypted this file with the real passwords in it and put a source line so 
that couuld be accessed but that's been no help either.
