Hello mutt users and discussers, 

Currently I am successfully seeing everything in my Inbox when I execute
mutt but I don't want to see the entire Inbox.  I pretty much have
almost everything the way I want it otherwise though.  I also don't want
to see all Important mail regardless of if it's in the Inbox or not.   I
have approximately 65000 emails in my Important mailbox - for comparison
I have about 21000 in my Sent mailbox.  I have had a Gmail account for a
very long time now and I use it for everything. 

Effectively I would like to have the contents of the search string
"in:inbox in:important" in my mutt message listing when I open mutt. 

The applicable parts of my current muttrc look like this: 

set folder		= imaps://imap.gmail.com:993 
set spoolfile		= imaps://imap.gmail.com:993/INBOX 
set postponed		= "+[Gmail]/Drafts" 
set message_cachedir	=~/.mutt/cache/bodies 
set header_cache	=~/.mutt/cache/hcache 
set certificate_file	=~/.mutt/certificates 

I've tried setting things up the following combinations but have had no
luck thus far: 

set folder                  = imaps://imap.gmail.com:993/INBOX 
set spoolfile              = "+[Gmail]/Important" 


set folder                  = imaps://imap.gmail.com:993 
set spoolfile              = "+[Gmail]/Important +[Gmail]/Inbox" 

... and some other non-sense combinations that didn't work. 

Is what I'm attempting to do possible and how can I achieve it? 

Thanks for reading and pondering this predicament!  :-D
