Well, '#' is a comment through the end of the line. You've commented off
your line-continuation character ( \ ) and therefore, as far as the
parser is concerned, +amazon is the last entry on the line.

Nope, it's working the way it should. Comments are stripped first. This
is true of just about every programming / configuration language in the
world. I say "just about" because someone will probably point to one
that doesn't work this way, but it would be the odd exception.

Try
mailboxes +amazon
#mailboxes +announces
mailboxes +arrivees
