Very interesting. I think it is a difference in terminology. I
have created a number of maildir's under ~/Maildir, so that I can
"change-folder" to another folder from within Mutt. One of these
folders is ~/Maildir/sales/.
If I understand you correctly, the mailboxes directive was refering
to the sub folders "new", currect? I thought that this directive
would show a count of new mail in both the Maildir ~/Maildir/ and
~/Maildir/sales, but if my understanding of what mailboxes was
designed to do, it is not possible to do what I wanted to do,
correct?
