Hello,

I have the following lines in my .muttrc

mailboxes +Inbox +sue +hpadmin +hp_annc +veritas +globetrotter +backups 
mailboxes +fbackup +fetchmail +perl-ldap +mutt-users +mutt-announce +daemon 
mailboxes +news_post +test +tickets

I'm not seeing any of the behavior described in the manual (below). I don't
see any update in the menubar of how many folders have new messages nor do I
see any indication in the directory browser. 

I am using mutt 0.95.5i

  3.10.  Defining mailboxes which receive mail

  Usage: mailboxes [!]filename [ filename ... ]

  This command specifies folders which can receive mail and which will
  be checked for new messages.  By default, the main menu status bar
  displays how many of these folders have new messages.

  When changing folders, pressing space will cycle through folders with
  new mail.

  Pressing TAB in the directory browser will bring up a menu showing the
  files specified by the mailboxes command, and indicate which contain
  new messages.  Mutt will automatically enter this mode when invoked
  from the command line with the -y option.

  Note: new mail is detected by comparing the last modification time to
  the last access time.  Utilities like biff or frm or any other program
  which accesses the mailbox might cause Mutt to never detect new mail
  for that mailbox if they do not properly reset the access time.

  Note: the filenames in the mailboxes command are resolved when the
  command is executed, so if these names contain ``shortcut characters''
  (such as ``='' and ``!''), any variable definition that affect these
  characters (like ``$folder'' and ``$spool'') should be executed before
  the mailboxes command.
