hiding evolution folders from mutt folder list

I know everyone will tell me to use imap, but I like it the way it is.
I have Evolution up and running in Gnome.  And use mutt as backup in
~/Maildir no dot folders, no real need for imap server on my notebook.

Ok how the heck do I hide all those Evolution generated folders from the
mutt folder list?

Here's part of my ~/.muttrc:

set folder=/some/where

mailboxes =INBOX \
          =ubuntu =ubuntu/users =ubuntu/devel =ubuntu/devel-discuss \
          =ubuntu/de =ubuntu/motu =ubuntu/security-announce \
          =maybe-spam =sent

I'm using procmail for delivery to these (maildir format) mailboxes.

Start mutt with
      mutt -y
and it shows you a screen with just the defined mailboxes, flagging
those with new mail in them.  Hitting TAB will switch to a directory
listing.

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.
