The first. After hitting 's', mutt will ask you the destination folder 
name.

No need to quote the destination folder name, mutt will take care of it.

Maybe you should just experiment? I did, learned from that. If unsure, 
you can just create another Gmail account for testing, so that you won't 
do mistakes "against" important mail. Be sure to apply the same IMAP 
options to both accounts, then test, test, test, and you'll be happy 
with the power of mutt. :)
