Nope. You should just specify the folders; for my IMAP folders:
mailboxes {dogbert}INBOX {dogbert}INBOX.personal {dogbert}INBOX.work
When new mail comes in, it'll report it. Pressing "c" will offer to
change you to the first folder with new mail in it.

What you can do, when you press "c" is hit tab, which will autocomplete.
Hitting tab twice will bring up a nice menu of all your folders (and on
Mutt 1.3 will say how many new/old mails are in each one).
Mutt kicks ass.
