Well, the automatic moving of messages to your received folder is
handled by the 'move' variable.

You could just set it to 'ask-yes', and then you'll be asked when you
want it to happen.  Or you can specify a list of folder-hooks that set
it to 'ask-yes' or 'yes' or 'no' according to the folder.

    folder-hook .               'set move=ask-yes'      # Default
    folder-hook funnies         'set move=no'
    folder-hook otherfolder     'set move=ask-no'

You get the idea.  The important thing to realize is that Mutt examines
ALL the folder-hooks, and runs ALL of them that match.  It doesn't try
to pick the "best" match and only run that.  It runs them all, if
possible.  :)
