This seems to work:
folder-hook . 'push "<limit>~n >1<enter>"'
Also, note that the folder pattern is a regexp, not a glob. You can
just use =.lists/ to match all the folders in that subdirectory. It
happens to work the way you wrote it because * means match the last char
zero or more times, but it is not doing what you probably think.
