I'll save you some time Andy... He is missing something in his .muttrc
folder. He needs to identify the folders that he has. For example:
mailboxes =INBOX =INBOX/sent =INBOX/mutt =INBOX/store
mailboxes =INBOX/bsd =INBOX/dns =INBOX/binc
Tried this, no difference. I don't have any mailboxes set, instead
set folder=imap://my.imap.server
which works fine for Courier, not for Binc.
You need to set the mailboxes in order for Mutt to see them.. You are 
also missing your spoolfile..

Your set folder should be the IP address. I do not believe Mutt will do 
DNS lookups.

set mail_check=60
set timeout=30
set spoolfile=imap://192.168.0.whatever/INBOX
set folder=imap://192.168.0.whatever
                 ^^^ or if you are on a WAN, put the external IP address 
of your IMAP server..

Pressing 'c' then '?' asks me for my password the first time round, then
You can save you password in the .muttrc file too, so you do not have to 
enter it all the time.

set imap_user=yourname
set imap_pass=whatever

I see
1       IMAP +          INBOX
which when selected shows all my sub folders.
yes, just hit the enter key to see all sub folders. Isn't that what you 
want?

could also add a cert file, so he does not have to ask/answer all the
time.
set certificate_file=~/.mutt/certificates
I'll do that once I'm in SSL mode - at present I'm just using plain ol'
text.
Then Adrian would just hit "c" and either "?" or "tab" to view his
folders, which is normal in Mutt to move around folders. That's it.

When stuff doesn't work it's usually me to blame, and it's really
frustrating to be so close, yet so far...
If you can see your subfolders, what is the problem, maybe I am missing 
something here?
