When I start mutt, I'm in my inbox. From there, I'm used to press TAB
to change to my other mailboxes, and that's quite comfortable to me.
First, I want to read my personal mail, and then I'm used to have a
look at different mailing lists.

I don't see them immediately..

In my case, it's not unnecessary, as shown above.

Maybe I was imprecise: after entering the top level dir where my
maildirs reside, I see nothing.

Just to make it clear: there was a call for discussion, and that are
my own experiences. Nothing more and nothing less. I'm not interested
in either combatting or promoting your patch. There was raised concern
about user experience, and here we go. So maybe I'm doing something
wrong, pressing the wrong buttons? I don't know.
