this works.  as a matter of fact i use it.  i think iirc it works as
far back as version 1.3.  i use 1.5 now.

what do you have setup for your spoolfile, mbox, mbox_type, folder?
do you have bar and bar.blah set up as mailboxes?

what happens if you use c and then type an absolute path to .bar or
.bar.blah?  a la /path/to/FOO/.bar

perhaps the existance of this file is what is throwing mutt off.  have
you tried removing it?  what is it there for?

what do you mean, exactly?  you can tell mutt that these are mailboxes
by using the mailboxes command in your muttrc.  a la

mailboxes = /path/to/FOO
mailboxes = /path/to/FOO/.bar
mailboxes = /path/to/FOO/.bar.blah

if you do this, you can use c and if there is new email in any of them
mutt will automagically give it as the next choice.
