You might want to try one:
set status_format="%f (%s) [%M/%m] [N=%n,*=%t,boxN=%b]%> %P"
set timeout=10
"%b" is the setting you're looking for, "timeout" controls the update
interval.

Did you set "mailboxes", like in
mailboxes ! +mutt-users +onemoremailbox +anothermailbox
maybe in combination with
subscribe mutt-users mutt-users@mutt\.org
Someone else mentioned earlier in this thread that you have to set
$folder and others before to make this work.

Not that I could think of. BTW sorting by threads is way better IMHO.
