I finally got this working myself about a month ago. The relevant
parts of my muttrc are
set use_from=yes

folder-hook !(=.a|=.b) set from=nick at c
folder-hook =.a set from=nick at a
folder-hook =.b set from=nick at b

The tricky part was getting 
folder-hook !(=.a|=.b) set from=nick at c
to work right, and this
http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual.html#toc3.5
was helpful. I tried the folder-hook . also but I couldn't get
that to work. I hope this helps, I don't know about setting the
from address based on the to address but theres probably a way to
do that also.
