Mutt isn't designed with the concept of folders in mind. It merely
acknowledges the concept because the mails need to be stored
/somewhere/.
There isn't much I could elaborate. I was told mutt can be configured
to make it less awkward to use with imap and I never bothered to figure
out how to do that because I never really used it with imap because mutt
is so awkward to use with imap :) I'm not really using imap anyway, and
if I need it for some reason, I use seamonkey. Now if I seriously
wanted to use imap, I'd set up gnus for it. And I'm not using gmail,
either.
