That should work too. Actually you don't need quotes here anywere unless
description contains a space. So

  macro index h <fetch-mail><sync-mailbox>
  
should work too. I only added the single quotes because you need them
when sequence contains a space. For example when you set variables
in macros

  macro index <f8> '<enter-command>set mbox_type=Maildir<enter>\
  <enter-command>set ?mbox_type<enter>' "toggle mbox_type"
  
P.S. Please brake your lines and no top posting please both make it
     harder to read your message.

HTH,

Michael
