Yes, mutt will do this.  You need to add a line in your ~/.muttrc like
this:

mailboxes /var/mail/blah =donuts =wombatsex =flagellation

(The names of your incoming mailboxes may differ, depending on your
interests.  The = sign means the folder is in your ~/Mail directory.
There's probably some knob to change that, too.)
