When you change mailboxes and hit <tab> you cycle between two views.
One is all the files in your mail folder, the other is just the
mailboxes you define with the mailboxes command.  I define a mailbox for
each mbox I have procmail filter mail to.  That way mutt will notify me
when mail arrives in that mailbox.  When I change mailboxes one of the
mailboxes that has new mail will be the default or I can hit table and
get the complete list.
