% I have a question about using Mutt with the MH format.

% Is the best thing to do is add them as mailboxes in .muttrc?  Is there

I don't know how mutt likes subdirectories in mail folders, but that
doesn't sound like your question so I'll just keep out of that.


% an easy way to keep them up to date?  Any tips/suggestions would be

If you want mutt to tell you when new mail arrives in those mailboxes,
then you'll have to add them to your mailboxes line(s) in your muttrc.
There have been lots of one-line find and echo scripts to generate
mailboxes listings for your muttrc; check the archives.  Note that when
you create a new mailbox after starting mutt you won't see updates to
that mailbox until you re-source your muttrc to regenerate the listing;
if you frequently create new mailboxes, you might put the relevant code
in a small muttrc so that you can do something like the imaginary

  $ cat .mutt/muttrc.mailboxes
  find blah blah blah

  $ grep muttrc.mailboxes .mutt/muttrc
  source $HOME/.mutt/muttrc.mailboxes
  macro generic ,m 'source $HOME/.mutt/muttrc.mailboxes
' "mailboxes"

so that whenever you create a new mailbox you can simply hit ',m' in mutt
and your list will be updated.
