This exact question cropped up back in January. Here's the suggestion I

How about something like:
,----
| echo $HOME/Mail/* | tr " " "\n" | grep -Ev "<not wanted>" | tr "\n" " "
`----
Where <not wanted> is the list of boxes you don't want. eg:
,----
| grep -Ev "SPAM|outbox"
`----
-- cut here ----------------------------------------------------------------
