that's just me.  So I never see that message.  But if there's no mail in
$MAIL, there's no file there to read, so that's why it complains.

By default, if you delete all the messages in your mailspool will mutt
delete the file or will it leave a zero-length file?  If the former,
it's broken: mailspool files should never be removed.

Per man muttrc:

     save_empty
          Type: boolean
          Default: yes

          When unset, mailboxes which contain no  saved  messages
          will be removed when closed (the exception is spoolfile
          which is never removed).  If set, mailboxes  are  never
          removed.

          Note: This only applies to mbox and MMDF folders,  Mutt
          does not delete MH and Maildir directories.
