Sounds like you haven't listed your mailboxes in .muttrc: mailboxes ! mailboxes =mutt =procmail-user =linux-kernel =vim-user mailboxes =list1 > 5.

How? Depends. Do you want shiny clean folders with nothing in them except fresh email that you've never seen? Do you want folders with relatively recent email, so that anything over n days/weeks/months old is archived? Think about folder-hooks, and read those sample .muttrc files. > 14.

I don't use spellcheckers; however, I imagine that you would read the ispell docs to find out how to switch dictionaries according to a command line or environment variable, and set that in a folder-hook. > 17.
