It finds the mailboxes but when I want to change ('c') to ones with new
mail in, it does not show them.

In the end I went back to my old solution to create symlinks with this script:

#!/bin/bash
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail

cd $MAILDIR

for i in $(find $HOME/Mail -maxdepth 1 -iname ".*" -type d)
    do
        ln -sv $i $(echo `basename "$i"` | sed -e 's/^\.//')
    done

and then my old setup in Mutt works.  I suppose I will have to run that
script from time to time as the new mailboxes get added.

Johann
