I should mention that mutt can tab-complete open IMAP connections or
any IMAP paths in 'mailboxes' from 'imap:', which makes for much less
typing. I generally set imap_passive (the default) and have a
mailboxes line for the INBOX of each mailserver. This makes
tab-completion of IMAP hosts pretty nice.
