Could you be a little more specific about your configuration? On my
machines, I have 'set folder=imaps://amacleod@mailhost/INBOX', which
works fine for me to type in, for example, '=LISTS.mutt' or '=spam' as
mailboxes for change-folder and save-message prompts. I use Courier
IMAP.
Regarding your list-mail patch, it sounds pretty neat. Personally,
I'm pretty satisfied to use the <mail> function and type in mutt-users
(or whatever) by hand. Perhaps many mutt developers feel the same way
and haven't looked closely at your patch yet. If I have some spare
moments and remember to do so, I might review your code and give you
my thoughts and comments, however misguided those might be :^)

Well, I've had a sporadic problem of my INBOX showing 0 new messages
in the mailboxes view. I think the reason for this is the way I enter
the view on mutt startup. That is, I have 'push
"<change-folder>?<toggle-mailboxes>"' at the end of my .muttrc. This
means mutt starts up in the index of INBOX before moving to the
mailboxes browser, thus marking the messages as "new but seen", I
think. I had been meaning to write a patch to allow better
new/unread/read index items, but never made much headway, due, I
think, to insufficient familiarity with the mutt source code.
Cheers,
