I've started playing with the mailboxes command and it's mutt is not responding
how I understand it should according to the docs (or at least how I want it to
respond).

When I enter mutt using the -y option I see my defined mailboxes:

-- Mutt: Mailboxes [1]
 1 /var/spool/mail/rmarc
 2 =mutt
 3 =nanog
 4 =rrdtool
 5 =sabmag
 7 =vpnd
 8 =zebra

>From what I understand, the [1] is notification that I have new mail in
one of my mailboxes.  This doesn't tell me WHICH mailbox has the new mail.
some of these boxes can get quite large and I'd rather not have to open
them to find out if there is new mail.  I also have no desire to just toggle
through the boxes with new mail.  I want to be notified and then make the
choice of opening the mailbox.

If I get new mail while in mutt, I am notified that new mail has arrived and
in what box.

What I'd like to see is something like:

-- Mutt: Mailboxes [1]
 1   /var/spool/mail/rmarc
 2 N =mutt
 3   =nanog
 4   =rrdtool
 5   =sabmag
 7   =vpnd
 8   =zebra

Anybody know if it's possible to do something like this within the current
stock configuration, or should I simply hack that into mutt?
