1.) Instead of using echo, you might try using ls -1 or find as
  appropriate (dunno...I use mbox format)

2.) pipe that into grep -v

For example:

find $HOME/Mail -type f -print | egrep -v '(notbox1|notbox2|backup-inbox)'

Q:...for those of you who use maildir...would you ever have
subdirectories in $HOME/Mail?
