If you use 'set folder' to specify the root of an IMAP server, for 
instance, you should be able to use the '+' or '=' character as a prefix 
to specify a folder on that server. Tab completion should work as well.

For instance, if you are reading a message in a mail folder at 
imap://aaa@bbb.com/INBOX, for instance, and you would like to save it to 
a folder called 'Saved' on that server, after pressing 'C' to copy, you 
should be able to specify '=Saved' and have it work fine, or even '=' 
followed by the first few letters, and hit Tab for autocompletion.

If this does not work, perhaps you did not use 'set folder' to set 
$folder to the IMAP server root. =/+ are just shorthands for $folder, as 
indicated by the Mutt Manual.
