Does the above command (between the `) produce one line or one line
per Mailbox? AFAIK only the first line of output of the command
between the backticks is used by mutt. Does mutt recognize new Mail
if you add the folders by hand. I'm not sure, but could it be,
that you need a complete path after the mailboxes command ("=list"
would be a complete path, because of the =).
