        in Mutt 1.12, IMAP works ok for me. Try the following:
        mailboxes = {your.imap.server}$HOME/mail/incoming

        If all of your mails are getting from the IMAP sever, then you
        can even:
                set folder = {your.imap.server}

        then you can do imap folder browsing as well.

        try(this is what I have):
                set realname = "Shao Zhang"
                my_hdr my_hdr From: $realname \<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
