set folder=imap://host/INBOX (or you can use {host}INBOX)
should work in the 1.3 line (either woody or sid is running 1.3, right?)
Anyway you can tab-complete, and just press <enter> on INBOX in the
browser to see subfolders, if your folder happens to be imap://host/.

Not really. You can just go up in the folder browser. Mutt's namespace
support needs some work, so you don't currently see everything together,
but all the functionality should still be there...

As far as I know they've been allowed in courier for a while. In mutt
you can press <enter> to descend subfolders and <space> to open a
mailbox. or maybe it's the other way around - I haven't tested this
stuff too much since I wrote it a long time ago (school has been crazy).
The folder browser is one of the worst parts of mutt's IMAP support, but
I think it basically *works*, it's just ugly.
I'm planning to revisit the folder browser soon, but I'm currently
having problems trying to get gdb to work with my mutt and the debian
SASL packages - I think the authentication problem is more important.
