No problem; gotta start somewhere!

... vaiable? ... you mean viable? variable?

If you intend on keeping everything on your IMAP server, no, you do 
not need to have mutt do *anything* with any mbox-related settings, 
with one exception: $mbox and $spoolfile. You probably just want to 
have something like this:

     set folder=imap://...stuff...
     set spoolfile=+
     set mbox=+

For an explanation as to why that might be, read the documentation 
about $spoolfile and $mbox. (The $mbox variable is somewhat poorly 
named.)
