OK, I've got something simmilar -> set folder = "imaps://imap.gmail.com:993"
I'm setting imap_user on a seperate line, I didn't want to confuse the folder
variable because I am using Google for Domains.

Yeah, I figured out how to broswe the IMAP hierarchy, I just couldn't figure 
out how to actually move mail around to different folders.

OK, so hitting 's' and then '=target folder' or is it :s='target folder'?
Like I had said before, I've been using the web interface for quite some time
now and I've amassed a complex nested structure of labels, some with spaces.
A majority of my mail is already filtered and labeled for me, but there are a
few that slip through, now at least I know I can label them from within mutt,
I will reserve new label's and filters for the web interface for now.

My next question is this, if the :s= cmd is used, do I put everything in 
single or double quotes after the equal sign? Treat it as a variable 
containing a string?

This link explains the basics to IMAP in gernal, for which I already know,
what it didn't explain was how to use GMail's IMAP features from within 
mutt, which seems to be a dead-zone of information, I found a plethoria of
information on the net about how to set it up and I was able to set mutt up 
and log into my email without issue on the first try. Now I am emparking on 
the process of utilizing the advanced features of the web interface from 
within mutt.
