Use tab-completion instead of folder browsing, it's quicker and you will
hardly notice the difference between:
~/Maildir/lists/mutt-users/
and
~/Maildir/.lists.mutt-users/
Honestly :-)
Use \..* as your mask so you match the somewhat odd courier naming
convention.
In fact I prefer this method of categorising mailboxes - my local
maildirs are a bit like this anyway, with no sub-directories (and no
leading dots either):
~/Mail/list.mutt-newbie
~/Mail/list.mutt-users
~/Mail/sent
~/Mail/work.boring
~/Mail/work.interesting
etc..
