If all the folders reside in one particular path, mutt respects the $MAIL
environment variable. Or there's $spoolfile in .muttrc ...
: spoolfile
:
: Type: path
: Default: ""
:
: If your spool mailbox is in a non-default place where Mutt cannot
: find it, you can specify its location with this
: variable. Mutt will automatically set this variable to the
: value of the environment variable MAIL if it is not set.
