The mailboxes you specify are filenames of mailboxes that you
want Mutt to recognize as those that receive mail. When you use
"+" or "=" as part of the filename, it expands to the value of
the $folder variable. Note, also, that "!" expands to the value
of the $spool variable. It's important to specify these before
the mailboxes commands in the ~/.muttrc file.

You need only specify as much of the address of the mailing list
as you need to ensure a lack of ambiguity; also, you can specify
a number of mailing lists on a single line.

Have you not read the docs?! On my system it is located at
/usr/local/doc/mutt/manual.txt Also, there is a default macro
that pipes it through less when I press the <F1> key. Reading
that file is an absolute must! =o) It should help to clear up a
lot for you.
