I think something like a list of macros like the following in
.muttrc works.
folder-hook . 'macro index h <change-folder>?<tab><jump><enter>0<enter>'
folder-hook '!' 'macro index h <change-folder>?<tab><jump><enter>1<enter>'
folder-hook =mutt 'macro index h <change-folder>?<tab><jump><enter>2<enter>'
folder-hook =vim 'macro index h <change-folder>?<tab><jump><enter>3<enter>'
... etc etc
where 'h' is the key you use to return to the browser from the
index, and the order of folders is the order you have in the
mailboxes command. The folder hooks essentially write a new macro
for the key every time you enter that particular folder. The
problem with this solution is that every time you add a new
mailbox to your .muttrc, you need to rewrite the hooks. I wrote
some vim mappings to do this more easily, but they are not
robust, so I won't copy them here.
