I would guess that mutt figures out what folder it is in when you
enter, and doesn't update the status line until you change to another
folder.

As for "c?", for example with:

mailboxes =Lists/mutt-users

The = is expanded when that line in your muttrc is first processed.
This is why you must set folder before anything which uses = or +.
Changes to folder only affect subsequent uses of = or +.

Yes, because now folder is different, so =foo is /home/nollaig/tmp.
