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

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