I have this in my ~/.muttrc

set folder=~/Maildir/
mailboxes + +.lists +.lists.debian +.lists.hurd +.lists.icebike +.lists.mlug +.spam
set mask=""

I press the c key to change mailboxes and then mutt automatically picks
the next Maildir with new messages.

The set mask="" is necessary or else mutt will hide folders that begin
with a '.' which makes it hard to select a maildir after pressing ? (to
display a list of mailboxes).

P.S. you might want to configure your edit to wrap your lines. That
bothers some people.
