So in that case, you want to get rid of most of the Maildir specific
stuff from your config (though leaving it doesn't really matter).

I'm not an expert on using IMAP with mutt, so you might want to keep
following up with the list - I'm copying the list again on this
response. But basically, you want to set the folder to:

+INBOX.foo
if the maildir is ~/Maildir/.foo/

You may also have a look at:
http://mutt.sourceforge.net/imap/
(and google for some other information on mutt w/ IMAP).

You might also want to just use Pine - Pine is the reference IMAP
client, and has pretty good IMAP support. While I love mutt, I wouldn't
really want to use it over IMAP if I could avoid it... if you do use
mutt, I'd also suggest using the dev version with header caching
enabled (no Maildir patch needed).
