Not sure how you generated this second message, but it has the same Message-ID as your "Inbox folder doesn't work anymore" message. That tangles the threads up, so please try not to do that.

folder-hook gmail 'set folder = "imaps://imap.gmail.com:993"'

This specifies the default location for your mailboxes, and the value for mailbox shortcuts "=" and "+".

folder-hook gmail 'set spoolfile = "$HOME/Mail/gmail"'

This sets the "inbox", and the value for mailbox shortcut "!".

macro index "3"               
"<change-folder>/root/Mail/gmail<enter><imap-fetch-mail>"

This changes to a local folder, presumably your $spoolfile. <imap-fetch-mail> retrieves new mail for an IMAP mailbox, but you have a local mailbox open. There is nothing in particular that ties it to your remote Gmail folder. Some people use getmail or mbsync for that sort of thing.

imap-fetch-mail: unknown command

<imap-fetch-mail> is a function, not a command. Commands, which can be run directly from ":", are listed at <http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#commands>. To execute a function, use the exec command:

 :exec imap-fetch-mail



You may want to try
 macro index "3" "<change-folder>imaps://imap.gmail.com:993/INBOX<enter>"
and change your spoolfile to "=INBOX" instead.

However, again, since /root/Mail/gmail is just a local mailbox, this won't do anything. On a related note, if you are connecting to multiple accounts, I encourage you to look at account-hooks for your authentication information. Using folder-hooks will not work in all situations. See <http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/#account-hook>.
