In my .muttrc I have:

# Set $strict_threads in large mailboxes (which are likely to have duplicated subjects)
folder-hook .           set strict_threads=no
folder-hook =sent       set strict_threads=yes
folder-hook =.archive*  set strict_threads=yes

The "." applies to every folder, and sets a default.  The last two change the setting for a specific folder, and a set of folders matching a regex.
