} Is there an easy way (using zstyle) to tell mutt to use mh folder

_mailboxes most certainly does know about mh folders.  The _mh function
could probably be modified to call _mailboxes, too, except that support
in _mailboxes for mh has always been marked as "wrong or incomplete" --
I know there are at least a couple of dozen commands that use MH folders,
because of the way MH is architected, but I no longer have access to a
complete MH installation (and refuse to clutter my home machine with one
just to learn the current list of commands, sorry).

To get _mutt to complete MH folders, you just need this in .zshrc:

maildirectory=~/rootOfYourMHfolderTree

That should probably be converted to use a zstyle.
