Obviously the manual was not updated when the IMAP client was added.  
20 years ago?  Does $spoolfile work for POP too?  That's probably even older.

It's a reasonable extension, but it should have been documented.

There also should have been some attempt to improve the name -- maybe 
add a new variable $default_mailbox, whose default value would be 
$spoolfile.  Too late now, I guess.

If I had ever wanted that added function, I probably would have tried 
it, to see if it worked.  I've never wanted Mutt to default to some 
IMAP server; I configure that explicitly.
