Your idea sounds good, at the moment I'm in the same situation, using
mutt on 1 PC and 2 laptops, each one using an on-the-fly-generated
version of the folder list, according to folder synced by offlineimap
[1], which has different rules on different machines.
But, I hate bringing scripts across different machines, so I've an
integrated solution into muttrc, as follows:
mailboxes +fradeve11/INBOX
mailboxes +fradeve11/[Gmail].'Sent Mail'
mailboxes +fradeve11/[Gmail].Drafts
mailboxes +fradeve11/[Gmail].Starred
mailboxes +fradeve11/[Gmail].Bin
mailboxes `echo $HOME/.mail/fradeve11/* | sed -e 's/ /\n/g' \
| sed -e '/INBOX/d' \
| sed -e '/^Mail/d' \
| sed -e '/Gmail/d' \
| sed -e '/folder-to-remove-from-list/d' \
| sed -e :a -e N -e 's/\n/ /' -e ta`
I'm adding all the Gmail folders before generating the list because
in this way they're listed giving priority to Gmail "system" folders;
the rest is sorted alphabetically.
Hope this helps you integrating folder-listing in muttrc ;)
Cheers
