Man, the semantics are hurting my head.
You were using gmail. You're still using gmail. Now you're using
mutt to read gmail's IMAP server. You're also using mutt's builtin
IMAP support to do it.

Correct. However, maybe look into OfflineIMAP? :-)

Wrong, I think. If you popped your mail from a server onto your
computer, an MDA like procmail would deliver it (mangling it to your
taste). You're not doing that. You're accessing gmail's IMAP server.
mutt's just serving as your interface to gmail. I think.
[Caveat: I've never used gmail, and I've only recently gotten back into
using mutt, so I may be clueless as to what this stuff can do these
days (still learning). Grain of salt is definitely warranted.]
