Surely that's the wrong way round. Put the filenames you read mail from
(i.e. the inboxes files that procmail writes) into a mailboxes command.
This will make the c command prompt with them automatically, notify you
when mail arrives, and allow your status line to tell you how many contain
new messages.
mailboxes ! ~/mail/foo ~/mail/bar
The ! is short for the system default mailbox which I don't use but I'd
sure want to see anything that arrived there.

For which the
set folder=~/Mail
is intended, a folder for files containing mail. When you give the s
command, the = sign will act as shorthand for ~/Mail/
