I believe that's unnecessary, and kind of wrong. That variable spoolfile is for incoming mail delivered into local files on the computer where Mutt runs (eg, /var/mail/freduser, or ~freduser/Maildir). IMAP is entirely different,
and doesn't use that.  I think you can just remove that, and not set the
variable spoolfile.

What would you use in Mutt for configuring the inbox then?

A URL on the command line, like this:

    mutt -f imaps://imap.panix.com/INBOX

The variable spoolfile has nothing to do with IMAP, and does not affect it.
