I ran across one of these servers recently while helping a friend who
is converting from pine to mutt.  Through experimentation I discovered
that the . in {imapserver}INBOX.[] is a path separator and [] means
"insert actual folder name here", so this should do the trick in mutt:

set spoolfile='{imapserver}inbox'
set folder='{imapserver}INBOX'

This works with the devel branch, but I'm not sure about the stable
branch.  I think that the stable branch has support for most folder
operations except browsing, but my I might be wrong.
