% This seems like a dumb question, but what's the difference between mailboxes
% and folders? I couldn't find anything in the Mutt literature. What
% advantages does each offer over the other?

None :-)  If you find any inconsistent uses in the manual, we'd love a
note about it (or, better yet, a patch against the latest version!), but
they're functionally equivalent.

On a very nitpicky level, some (not I) might say that a mailbox is a
single filesystem file containing multiple mail messages and that a
folder is a directory of multiple files each containing a single message.
That's pretty ridiculous, though.
