Suppress "~/Mail does not exist" in mutt

An annoying message, asking for permission to create a folder that mutt then never uses (unless your MTA is configured for Maildir, but that's another story).

To fix it I just added unset folder to the end of /etc/Muttrc.

You probably will want to remove that if you ever decide to switch to Maildir.
