There's a patch that provides that functionality (there's no simple
way to do it via configuration alone). I forget the name of the patch,
though... It should be in the mailing list archives somewhere
(sorry!).

That's true not just of mutt's IMAP browser, but of all of its
browsers. The relevant format string ($folder_format) can only
contain:
- current file number (%C)
- modification time (%d) (not in IMAP)
- filename (%f)
- permissions (%F) (used as a directory indication in IMAP)
- group/GID (%g) (not in IMAP)
- number of hard links (%l) (not in IMAP)
- does it contain new mail (%N) (not in IMAP)
- size (%s) (not in IMAP)
- tagged status (%t) (not in IMAP)
- owner (%u) (not in IMAP)
That the browser isn't more helpful is a common complaint.
