Abstract
We prove that the set of Busemann points (the limits of almost-geodesic rays) is nowhere dense in the horoboundary of the Teichm\"uller metric for all Teichm\"uller spaces of complex dimension strictly larger than 1. This shows that the Teichm\"uller metric is far from having non-positive curvature in a certain sense.
