I've never used it, but it seems like the folder-hook command in mutt would do what you want: http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-3.html#folder-hook If it behaves like the rest of the *-hook commands, you'd do something like so in your ~/.muttrc file: folder-hook mailbox-name 'my_hdr From: My Name <myemail@domain.com>' > Another important feature that I haven't found yet is a good way > to filter messages automatically. It looks like the 'mailbox' is > part of the answer. Filtering isn't mutt's job. You'll want to use a separate filtering program, like procmail. Your ~/.procmailrc file would contain blocks like so: :0 * ^TO_.*debian-user debian-user which will take any message addressed (via the To:, Cc:, Bcc:, etc. fields) to debian-user and filter it into the debian-user folder.
