How about
mailboxes `find ~/Mail ! -name sent -print`
(or s/sent/outbox/ or wherever your outgoing mailbox is named)
Hmm...no, that doesn't work, mutt only looks at the first line.

Assuming you have gnu find:
mailboxes `find ~/Mail ! -name sent -type f -printf '%p ' | sed
's?/home/jtoth/?=?g'`
seems to work. :-) Replace what obviously needs to be replaced, and
of course you can exclude as much as you like by adding additional
! -name "<whatever>"
parts, and of course even exclude wildcard expressions, and do regular
expression excluding with ! -regex <pattern>
