I have an executable file that calls Mutt, in that file I have;

...

#!/bin/bash

BR formail -s procmail < /var/spool/mail/myusernameBR

rm /var/spool/mail/myusernameBR

mutt -y

...

Check man mutt to figure out the -y option.

...

set folder=$HOME/mail #Make sure this directory existsBR

mailboxes =almost-certainly-spamBR

mailboxes =from #optionalBR

mailboxes =mbox

BR mailboxes =probably-spamBR

...

You'll notice these mailboxes match a couple of the mailboxes in the .procmailrc file. REMEMBER, every time you change a mailbox in the .procmail file you have to make the same change in the .muttrc file.

...

PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:.BR

MAILDIR=$HOME/mail # You'd better make sure it exists

BR DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox #this is the default mailbox in the .muttrc file.BR

LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from

BR LOCKFILE=$HOME/.lockmailBR

# The lock file ensures that only 1 spamassassin invocation happensBR

# at 1 time, to keep the load down.BR
