OK, I did a little more digging and added this to ~/.mutt/muttrc

set folder="~/sylmail"
set mbox="+inbox"
set mbox_type=MH

(Sylpheed uses MH format for mail.) Now, I run mutt and get mail from the
spool. If I run "mutt -f =inbox" I get my Sylpheed inbox, and "mutt -f
=inbox/otherfolder" for other folders inside the inbox. Pretty close to
ideal!
