Not quite sure what you mean by hidden dot files.  I run mutt -f Maildir
to get mine.  I'm pretty sure if you config mutt to look at your
Maildirs with other maildir folders (the hidden dot files?) in them by
playing with your .muttrc.  Here is an excerpt to help whet your
appetite for the man page:

mailboxes filename [ filename ... ]
              This  command  specifies  folders which can receive
              mail and which will be checked  for  new  messages.
              When  changing  folders,  pressing space will cycle
              through folders with new mail.
