You might get what you are looking for from Gregor Hoffleit's patch in
a message posted earlier today. I will attach it at the end.

I think I may have found a solution for this idea. I patched mx.c to
set the current folder in the environment (attached). Then I created a
script which does something similar:
#!/bin/sh
echo -ne "\033]2;MUTT - $MUTTMAILBOX\007"
However, I couldn't get a folder-hook like the one you suggest to work.
Instead I had to do:
folder-hook . 'push !~/bin/mutt-xterm-title\n'
Is there a better way to do that? Unfortunately that interferes with
the typing of my imap password. I don't like storing the password in
the configuration file, but at least it works.
