That does it -- sort of:

    mailboxes +INBOX +'All Mail'

It does show those two in teh sidebar.  But "mailboxes" is only for incoming mail:

     This command specifies folders which can receive mail and which will be checked for new messages periodically.

I want all the mailboxes available, as determined by Lookout, in the sidebar, but only INBOX needs to be checked for new mail.  I've tried all combinations of yes and no for these two variables, along with defining "mailboxes" or not, and the only one which matters is "mailboxes".

    set imap_check_subscribed
        When set, mutt will fetch the set of subscribed folders from your server on connection, and add them to the set of mailboxes it polls for new mail just as if you had issued individual “mailboxes” commands.

    set imap_list_subscribed
        This variable configures whether IMAP folder browsing will look for only subscribed folders or all folders.

imap_check_subscribed is not clear to me.  I like the "fetch the set of subscribed folder", but they don't need to be checked for new mail (only INBOX does).

Maybe it is this "subscription" jargon which is tripping me up.  When I use Lookout itself (ugh!), it shows about a dozen mailboxes.  That's what I want mutt to show.
