You want folder hooks! Here:

    http://mutt.org/doc/manual/#hooks

Note that all hooks are tred when they fire. Folder hooks fire when you 
enter a folder. So suppose you have some setting you wan to tune:

    set setting=value

To do that for specific folders, with a default, you go:

    folder hook . "set setting=default_value"
    folder hook =mutt "set setting=the_mutt_value"

and so on. All the matching hooks fire. So this chooses the default 
value, then overrides it if the folder is "=mutt". If you did it the 
other way around the default would always fire last, undering any 
per-folder settings.
