I wasn't aware of that, but I haven't been messing with procmail for all
that long.

That didn't work for me, Mutt flashed some error message while starting
up, but it went too fast for me to see what it was. It might have had
"regexp" in there somewhere (after thinking about this, it might be
because of the ~ character. Using an absolute path might work fine).
Anyway, I don't think I'll want to list *all* of my mail folders.
Using a 800x600 frame buffer console, I get a 100x37 screen, and I
like to have most of my mailboxes listed on the first screen if
possible. My current plans are to possibly make directories such as
1999/08 and 1999/09 as my mail accumulates. So I will just have Mutt
display 1999/08/ and 1999/09/, and eventually 1999/ and 2000/, when
there are enough folders.
So something like:
mailboxes +1999/08
mailboxes +1999/09
mailboxes +1999-10/debian-user
mailboxes +1999-10/linux-kernel
mailboxes +1999-10/mutt-users
and in February:
mailboxes +1999
mailboxes +2000/01
mailboxes +2000-02/debian-user
mailboxes +2000-02/linux-kernel
mailboxes +2000-02/mutt-users
That way, only the current month's mailboxes are shown, but I can still
easily access the older stuff - the "hard" way would probably
just involve an extra keypress :)

You're definitely right about that :)
