Ok, I wrote my setup in another mail, which I then sent to the wrong
list address, here it is in a nutshell:

env:
MAILDIR=/home/q/Maildir

muttngrc:
macro index <f4> "<enter-command>source .mutt/remoteconfig<enter>\
<enter-command>source .mutt/mailboxes<enter>\
<enter-command>source .mutt/folder-hooks<enter>\
<enter-command>source .mutt/fcc-hooks<enter>" "Remote Maildir"
macro index <f5> "<enter-command>source .mutt/localconfig<enter>\
<enter-command>source .mutt/mailboxes<enter>\
<enter-command>source .mutt/folder-hooks<enter>\
<enter-command>source .mutt/fcc-hooks<enter>" "Local Maildir"

(don't wonder about ".mutt" these files reside still in my .mutt dir.

localconfig look like this:
set mbox_type="Maildir"
set folder="~/Maildir"
set mbox="~/Maildir"

remoteconfig:
set mbox_type="Maildir"
set folder="/home_remote/q/Maildir"
set mbox="/home_remote/q/Maildir"

Where /home_remote/ is my NFS mounted home "backup".

mailboxes:
unmailboxes *
mailboxes \
  + \
  +ls3 \
  +stuff \
  +muttng \
  ...

Apart from unmailboxes not working, I still think there is another bug.
After starting muttng (it will start with the "localconfig") the sidebar
displays the folders like this:
                   0
ls3               62
ls3/da         74[1]
ls3/poseidon      83
...

yes, the first line is empty and it's telling me there are now mails,
that was not the case with the "old" muttng. Now pressing F4 as defined
above I get the following:

Maildir            0
ls3               62
da             74[1]
poseidon          83
...
                   0
ls3                0
ls3/da             0
ls3/poseidon       0

As you can see, the names have changed back to the last part of the path
(which is good, and the way it has always been), and the old mailboxes
are still there. The mail count for the "root" maildir is off, and gets
updated, as soon as I switch the current folder, to the real "=" mailbox
(which is now /home_remote/q/Maildir).

The count for poseidon is also off, as the email count obviously doesn't
get updated at all.

I then hit F5 to go back to the localconfig:
                   0
ls3               62
ls3/da         74[1]
ls3/poseidon      83
...
Maildir        45[4]
ls3               62
da             74[1]
poseidon          84

Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing, but I'm rereading folderhooks too,
as the absolute paths have changed and this was necessary in the
original setup.

Time permitting, I'll see what I can do and report back. Thanks for the
quick reply!
