You have to set the "mailboxes" line in your .muttrc.

Sorry to piggyback on your post, but this brings up a question I have
about this definition. Is it possible to specify "all mailboxes in my
$folder directory?"
I tried:
=
=*
=/*
and
~/mail/*
/home/<user>/mail/*
None of them worked. Can it be done?
