You can work with multiple mailboxes in Mutt. Each one can be either a
local mailbox (in any of the supported formats) or an IMAP mailbox. If
you store all your mail in one place (either local or IMAP), Mutt
makes it easier on you by letting you define $folder to the base
address of the mailboxes (e.g. "/home/tzafrir/Mail" or
"{imap.server.com}Mail"), and then reference mailboxes shortly by
replacing the base with the + sign. However, if you have mailboxes
both locally and on an IMAP server, I see no reason why it shouldn't
work -- you just won't have the + shortcut to work with, that's all.
