I successfully use the below approach for syncing current folder with
the same on IMAP:
---
folder-hook . "source ~/.mutt/on-folder-change.muttrc"
---
where on-folder-change.muttrc is:
---
set record = ^
set my_folder = `echo $record | sed 's#.*/##'`
macro index,pager <esc>o ":unset wait_key<enter><shell-escape>clear; printf '# syncing =$my_folder\\n\\n';
mbsync $my_folder<enter>:set wait_key<enter>" "sync current folder"
---
Hope this helps.

IIRC, the caret symbol (^) can be used as a shortcut for the current
mailbox.
Possibly relevant sections of the manual:
http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#shortcuts
http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#folder-hook
http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#mailbox-hook

Haven't tried using a caret in such a command myself. Let us know how
you get on.
I tried 'set my_xxx=^' and it just set the variable to ^ which wasn't
very helpful!
