you need something like
set spoolfile=imap://host/INBOX
set folder=imap://host/user.steven
mailboxes ! =Advisory.A =Advisory.B
...etc
then you will be notified when you get new mail in any of the mailboxes
you've defined with the 'mailboxes' command. In addition, if you press
tab a second time from the folder browser you will be taken to the
mailbox view, where with the right folder_format you can see how many
new mails are in each mailbox. I use:
set folder_format="%3C %t %?N?%2N& ? %10F %8s %f"
-b
PS for user.steven you can probably write INBOX throughout.
