If I hit 'c' will get:
"Open mailbox ('?' for list):"
--> if I hit '?' I will get the list of content of my whole $folder
--> if I hit <tab> I will get list of $mailboxes:
 1     -rw-rw----  1 jaa      root        58567 Sep 12 04:10 /var/mail/jaa
 2     -rw-------  1 jaa      opis       183034 Sep 11 20:24 =blug-spool
 3     -rw-r--r--  1 jaa      opis        39683 Sep 10 23:12 =dxr3-spool
 4     -rw-------  1 jaa      opis       890847 Sep 12 05:39 =personal-spool
 5     -rw-------  1 jaa      opis         2611 Jun 25 20:17 =svn-breakage-spool
 6     -rw-------  1 jaa      opis        43352 Sep 12 04:29 =svn-commit-spool
 7     -rw-r--r--  1 jaa      opis      1729255 Sep 12 03:56 =svn-spool
 8     -rw-------  1 jaa      opis       561501 Sep 12 05:26 =svn-user-spool

And there is indeed new mail in those folders, but mutt doesn't advertice any 
one of those any special way.

If I hit space when I am at index page of my mbox (/var/mail/jaa) mutt 
will cycle me through via 
content of last message vs. index page of that folder. Same is true for 
other folders too.

And if I tried bind buffy-list, mutt will complain about unknown function.

Here is the list of my unbound functions, and at the end of mail is output
of mutt -v. This is one computer of my university, and I don't have any power
how software are installed globally.

imap-fetch-mail, tag-subthread, next-unread, previous-unread, decrypt-copy
decrypt-save, search-opposite, current-top, current-middle, current-bottom

Thank you for your help.
