To tell mutt itself about this you need two settings:

  set folder=~/Mail/inbox

which specifies your top level mail folder and:

  mailboxes +Fedora +Fedora-DS +Centos +Ubuntu

which specifies which folders to watch for new mail. Mutt's "change
folder" function has a show-folders mode with will show everything in
~/Mail/inbox without using the "mailboxes" setting.

As Todd says, fetchmail to pull the mail and procmail to file it into
the folders.

You have a lot of mail already filed in these folders - was Claws doing
this filing for you?
