    This is a message from (I'm guessing) your IMAP server, not from
mutt.  Your server will likely recreate this message.

    Go ahead and use my_hdr.  It will overwrite the current From
field.

    You *might* be able to hack up a mutt solution, but you'll want to
use procmail for this -- that's what it's designed for.

    So just enter the file name... (a mailbox is just a file)

    Depends on the settings in your .muttrc, and how you specified the
mailbox.  Try `find ~ -name mailbox2` and then `find / -name mailbox2`
