That's the name of your shell script. Make yourself a ~/bin directory if
you don't already have one, and put scripts in there. Add $HOME/bin to
your $PATH and those scripts can just be used like any other command.
Then the:
mailboxes `mutt-mailboxes`
runs your script "mutt-mailboxes" like any other command, as it would
have run your inline find command.

That would also go in your personal $HOME/bin directory.
