oops, I didn't notice that.. remember though that the `+` mark indicates that
mutt should find it in the dir you got `folder` set as. for instance, if you
have set folder=~/Mail, and then put something like +"hticker-`date +%y-%m`"
then mutt will look in ~/Mail/hticker-`date +%y-%m`..

as I said.. in the sample muttrc there's examples.. for instance, you could
put mailboxes "echo $HOME/hticker-`date +%y-%m`" or 
mailboxes "ls $HOME/hticker-`date +%y-%m`" and use the ! wildcard to
filter out those you don't want checked for new mail.
Endless possibilities...
