Setup should be as I exampled above.

set folder=~/Maildir/
mailboxes=~/Maildir/xyg/client/
mailboxes=~/Maildir/xyg/product/
cur new and tmp are handled by mutt.

I have limited experience with Maildir.  I use mbox.  I have seen
references on this list about utilizing subdirectories w/Maildir but
have not done so myself.  

To access mailboxes not defined as mailboxes (mailboxes=xxx), use:
c<tab><tab>.
