The same thing happens with elm. The issue is telling the MUA that
the folders are "inboxes" (able to receive mail). mutt treats all
folders this way (and, for elm users, it has almost the same

For society, it's probably a good thing that engineers value function
over appearance. For example, you wouldn't want engineers to build
nuclear power plants that only _look_ like they would keep all the
radiation inside.
