You want folder hooks! Here:
http://mutt.org/doc/manual/#hooks
Note that all hooks are tred when they fire. Folder hooks fire when you
enter a folder. So suppose you have some setting you wan to tune:
set setting=value
To do that for specific folders, with a default, you go:
folder hook . "set setting=default_value"
folder hook =mutt "set setting=the_mutt_value"
and so on. All the matching hooks fire. So this chooses the default
value, then overrides it if the folder is "=mutt". If you did it the
other way around the default would always fire last, undering any
per-folder settings.
