I use:

mailboxes `find ~/.mutt/Mail/IN* -printf "%p "`
macro   index   <left>  ":mailboxes \`find ~/.mutt/Mail/IN* -printf \"%p \"\`\nc?<toggle-mailboxes>"  "Regenerate & View Mailboxes"
set folder_format="%3C %t%N %f%> %d %10s %F %u/%g "

My procmailrc sends incoming mail to various IN.something files, mostly
covered by:

:0
* ^((List-Id|X-(Mailing-)?List):(.*[<]\/[^>]*))
{
        LISTID=$MATCH
   
        :0:
        * LISTID ?? ^\/[^@\.]*
        IN.$MATCH
}

which will automatically handle most lists.

If you usually receive mail locally, another nice procmail rule is:

DISPLAY=:0.0
XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority

:0 ich
* ^Subject:.*\/.*
| echo "$MATCH" | osd_cat -p bottom -A center -l 2 --delay=2 --font=-*-postantiquaroman-*-*-*-*-*-200-*-*-*-*-*-* --color=#cccccc --outline=1
                                                                                
which writes the subject of each message received with the on-screen display
program (the font I use is in sharefonts iirc).

Most of my procmail/mutt config I've borrowed from other people, so credit
to them.
