So all you see are the folder names - no metadata at all, such as
dates, times, flags? If this is the case you probably need to look
at your $folder_format; this is mine:
set folder_format="%N %3C %d %2l (%5s) %f"
You may also want to look at your $index_format and $status_format.
Refer to man 5 muttrc for details on the printf-like sequences to
use; you'll find them under index_format in the man page.
