	If I press c for change folder and followed by 4 TABs, then the first
	TAB mutt will give me a default folder with new msg in it, the second
	TAB mutt will give me a complete name of that folder, and the third TAB
	mutt will give me a list of folders specified in mailboxes, and the 
	fourth TAB mutt will give me a list of folders specified in $folder.

	Since my $folder is very large as I said above, I don't want mutt to scan
	this directory at all.

Cheers,

Shao.
