This is not true, strictly speaking. The "mailboxes" command makes a folder available to switch with the "y" or "c-?" key sequences. But in response to the prompt after "c", you can enter a filename of any file or directory that is a valid folder - in a format that mutt knows about - and mutt will happily open it. And you can always start mutt like mutt -f /home/me/Mail/box even if that path is not in any mailboxes line. -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
