 Anyone know what's the story with getting mutt to check multiple IMAP
mailboxes for new mail ?

 In my .muttrc, I have:

mailboxes {dogbert}INBOX {dogbert}INBOX.oldinbox {dogbert}INBOX.personal {dogbert}INBOX.work {dogbert}INBOX.midgard {dogbert}INBOX.ilug {dogbert}INBOX.motorcycle-ireland {dogbert}INBOX.ilugsocial {dogbert}INBOX.notme {dogbert}INBOX.lbw {dogbert}INBOX.Sent {dogbert}INBOX.Trash {dogbert}INBOX.postponed {dogbert}INBOX.motorcycle-ireland {dogbert}INBOX.midgard {dogbert}INBOX.freedevel 

 And, when I press "c" to change mailbox, and then <tab><tab> to bring up
the list of mailboxes, it'll list them. But never mark them as containing
new mail.

 I know I had this working, previously. Any ideas what I could be not
doing ?
