If I press c for change folder and followed by 4 TABs, then the first TAB mutt will give me a default folder with new msg in it, the second TAB mutt will give me a complete name of that folder, and the third TAB mutt will give me a list of folders specified in mailboxes, and the fourth TAB mutt will give me a list of folders specified in $folder. Since my $folder is very large as I said above, I don't want mutt to scan this directory at all.
