getting procmail and mutt to work together

I am not using a .muttrc file
When I initially ran mutt it successfully opened a folder with test
messages in it. After I made procmail deliver the mail to the folder I
wanted it to go into, mutt stopped working.
I was getting no error messages (and simply no mail listed), but now I'm
getting the message: "/var/spool/mail/Administrator is not a mailbox."
Hitting 'c' and choosing
"/cygdrive/c/Docume~1/jhouse/MyDocu~1/UnixHome/Mail/inbox' doesn't work
either. Complains that it also is not a mailbox.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? (Asside from putting my mail where
I don't want it to go?)
