Hrm... I'm currently using a remap of the '.' key, as follows.
#v+
folder-hook '^imap(s)?://' 'macro index,pager . "<imap-fetch-mail><buffy-list>"'
#v-
This works rather handily for me as I use the buffy-list incessently.

Nothing nearly so neat (although I used to have an ssl-enabled perl
script solely to get into my imap server and get a folder list so I
could parse it to get a mailboxes list). My config folder is simply my
~/.mutt directory. I keep everything (except my passfile) in a git
repository on my server so I won't have to worry about backing up my
linux configuration when I create a new VM, or switch to a MacBook this
fall/winter (rubbing hands in anticipation).
I have the following rc files.
#v+
d...@eeyore:~/.mutt$ ls | grep -v hcache
cache/
incorporate/
old/
aliases
colors
headers
imap
mailbox-based-ids.pl*
muttrc
passfile
sendmail
signature.afsa
signature.list
signature.normal
#v-
The cache directory is for both body and header caching. passfile sets
my IMAP password, and is ignored by git. Most rc files are read one
time on startup. The incorporate and old directories are rc files from
before I set up the "one muttrc to rule them all" repository and had
multiple versions scattered between mutt instances. I have yet to
collect enough round-tuits to comb through them for any nuggets of
wisdom.
So, not rocket science, but it keeps things out of my home directory. ;)
