I don't have any 'mailboxes' command in my .muttrc file. Not at all.
I have this:

set spoolfile="$HOME/Mail/inbox"

I have a few folder-hooks though, and they all point to subdirectories 
of $HOME/Mail/inbox.

The problem started years ago. I asked for help in a generic *nix forum 
and nobody had a clue so I gave up. I am trying to sort it out for good 
this time around. I'm making progress. :-)  I just want to get rid of 
that glitch in the <change-folder> command.

I pasted the output of ls -AR here:
