I'd like to have aliases for mailboxes. Well, I suppose I could define
a spurious address with the wanted alias so that I could use the @alias
form. But it would be better if there was a cleaner way. And this alias
should be displayed instead of the full name with %f in $status_format.

Then, how about being able to do internal filtering? For instance,
using

mailboxes the_mailbox#pattern1
mailboxes the_mailbox#pattern2
mailboxes the_mailbox#pattern3
mailboxes the_mailbox#pattern4

When opening the corresponding physical mailbox "the_mailbox", Mutt
would automatically do a limit on the pattern. An alias could be used
instead of the full mailbox form the_mailbox#pattern1, and so on.

Mutt should be able to recognize when the same physical mailbox is
used to detect new mail so that change-folder can work as expected.
I don't know what is currently done, but synchronizing/... should
not set non-visible new messages to old (possibly through an option
if some users don't like this behavior).
