Hi Carl e thanks for your prompt answer.

As you suggested, I add notmuch@notmuchmail.org email as well.

This is what I did:
fulvio@linux:~$ notmuch setup 
Your full name [fulvio]: 
Your primary email address [my address]: return
Additional email address [Press 'Enter' if none]: return
Top-level directory of your email archive [/home/fulvio/.mutt]: return
Tags to apply to all new messages (separated by spaces) [unread inbox]: return
Tags to exclude when searching messages (separated by spaces) [deleted spam]: return
fulvio@linux:~$

After this my .mutt directory (~ 4 GB di mail-boxess) appears so:
fulvio@linux:~$ ll .mutt
totale 12
drwxr-xr-x 2 fulvio fulvio 4096 18 feb 20.32 cur
drwxr-xr-x 2 fulvio fulvio 4096 18 feb 20.32 new
drwxr-xr-x 2 fulvio fulvio 4096 18 feb 20.32 tmp
fulvio@linux:~$ du -h .mutt
4,0K	.mutt/new
4,0K	.mutt/tmp
4,0K	.mutt/cur
16K	.mutt

That's all.

Terrible!

What happened?

Thanks in advance.

Fulvio
