I'll persevere, then.

I tried mailboxes =INBOX =lists =blahblah...

but still if I navigate up to 
  1  IMAP+                        INBOX.
  2  IMAP+                        INBOX.

(BTW, I do not see why it gives it twice - they both behave the same)

and use [enter] to select the INBOX, I get only a directory listing of 
all the subfolders.  I cannot see the incoming mail in the INBOX.  That 
is visible when first logged on, and I can work with that as long as I 
do not visit another folder.

When I press 'c', I get 
Chdir to: imap://richard@the-place.net/INBOX.
and [enter] moves to the folder listing again.

No, I mean the mail does not actually go anywhere -- is not sent.
On reflection, I guess that is not a mutt problem - probably means exim 
is not set up right.

Thanks for the other bits of advice.
