don't forget to supply the trailing "/". so the folder line should
look like this:
set folder=~/Maildir/

also, did you create the Maildir directory with the maildirmake
command? if you didn't none of this will work. the command is located
at the /var/qmail/bin/ directory if you installed qmail at the
/var/. you should do something like: 

$ /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake ~/Maildir/

it should work after this.
