Well, I finally did a little investigating into how Mutt handles the
Cyrus IMAP server and, frankly, it's not too good.

As a side note, the advice to set your $folder to "{server}INBOX." is
actually fine. Cyrus explicitly names the home namespace "INBOX", where
it is omitted in UW-IMAP.

Browsing is, um... peculiar. I fixed a simple bug where Mutt was showing
folders twice regardless of their selectable/inferior flags (Cyrus uses
the same flag names, but different cases. I switched mutt to use
caseless comparators). But it's still messy. Switching into folders
works, but there's no parent for switching back out.

Selecting the INBOX is hard work unless done explicitly - I think Mutt's
namespace code could use some work.

I'm going to try to make some sense out of Mutt's Cyrus interaction.
People who said it was a mess are absolutely right - I just haven't
tested against it until now.
