The listing of dotfiles may be suppressed by the tool you are using.

Muttrc file in /etc/Muttrc and you may only be using that and need to
create .muttrc .

You can use the change folder command to look at folders available via imap
(or pop, but you don't want that). I don't know if gmail provides access
to your folders via imap. The full folder specification is:
protocol://user@server:password/path
You want to use imaps as the protocol.

The is a manual for mutt in /usr/share/doc that is probably worth skimming
through and reading about interesting features in detail.
