I use the following approach for the same problem but with mbsync:
---
folder-hook . "source ~/.mutt/on-folder-change"
---

where ~/.mutt/on-folder-change has the below content:
---
set record = ^
set my_folder = `echo $record | sed 's|.*/||' | sed 's|\\.|/|g'`
macro index,pager <esc>o ":unset wait_key<enter><shell-escape>clear; printf '# syncing =$my_folder\\n\\n'; mbsync full:$my_folder<enter>:set wait_key<enter>" "sync current folder"
---

I know, it looks a bit creepy but works pretty well :)
