[Gllug] setting up mutt

I have set up procmail to do the work of gnus' "mail-split-fancy", and
this works like a charm.  Incoming mail goes into various folders
containg an "in." prefix, e.g mail from this list goes to "in.gllug".

Now, when I start mutt, I want a list over the folders prefixed with
"in." *if* they contain new mails, and a number indicating how many
mails are in them.  When I exit the "in.gllug"-folder, read mail[1]
from this folder are moved to a different folder, "gllug-YY-MM"[2].
This different folder will have to be browsable as well, but should
not show in the list of folders when I start mutt. The perfect
behaviour would be to press a key, and have a list of these "old"
folders pop up to chose from.

[1] I can live with having to explicitly delete mail, as long as it is
    not actually deleted, but merely moved to a different folder.

[2] I think I saw somewhere that mutt could write to different groups
    depending on the date. Now if it also can gzip the folder...

Cheers, Stig
