I use sed to filter out mailboxes, but I don't know how to filter out
the Evolution files...

lists `find ~/Maildir -type d -regex "*list.*" -maxdepth 1 -printf "%P "
| sed -
e 's/list//g' -e 's/cse//g' | tr -d '.'`
subscribe `find ~/Maildir -type d -regex "*list.*" ! -regex "*cse.*"
-maxdepth 1
 -printf "%P " | sed 's/list//g' | tr -d '.'`


I have a maildir folder (directory) named alldata, evolution creates a
file called alldata.ev-summary alldata.ev-summary-meta
alldata.ibex.index and alldata.ibex.index.data

Now Evolution does this to all folders.  I wish to hide the above from
displaying in mutt folder list.
