And how deep is it going to go? How does it distinguish between
tmp and maildir3 as in:

$FOLDER/maildir1/tmp
$FOLDER/maildir2/maildir3/tmp

Add regex support for mailboxes and you can achieve exactly the
same with 

set folder = ~/Mail/maildir
mailboxes +.*

which is a whole lot more flexible.

I do not think this should be implemented in muttng. This feature
does IMHO belong into a "Setup Wizard" or at least a special
folder command:

set folder = ~/Mail/maildir
set folder_recurse = true
set folder_recurse_depth = 3

or

set folder = ~/Mail/maildir
set recurse_folder = ~/Mail/anothermaildir
set recurse_folder_depth = 3

or

set folder = ~/Mail/maildir
recurse_mailboxes +archive +unterhose
??depth??  

But after all I do not consider this neccessary if we had regex 
after mailboxes. Actually I was astonished that it is not already
there. Luckily I checked...


So far.
