Sorry I can't help you, but this reminds me of a feature that I'd like
to suggest for imap browsing (hmm, this could be a really stupid idea).

I would be nice to create a dummy file or symlink in a mailfolder to an
imap mailbox and browse it as if it was just another local mbox or
maildir:

  ln -s imaps:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/INBOX $HOME/Mail/INBOX

Have a look at imap_pass and imap_user in the manual, you can set these
in your muttrc file.

I think you need to use the full path to the destination imap folder,
you can use tab completion to make this easier.

In mutt-1.2.* imap paths look like this:

  {imap.myisp.com/}path/to/folder/

In mutt-1.3.* they look like this:

  imap:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/to/folder/
