I'm using mutt with mutt-patched to manage 5 different Gmail accounts. For each of this accounts, I have INBOX as a mailbox with the mailboxes +INBOX
configuration statement for each one. Then, I have 5 different uglies INBOX
options to choose in my left column.
Is there a way to rename that mailboxes screen names to get visually information about, for example, wich account belongs each one?

I've been some researching, with some help from a friend, and that's what we have found out.
It's possible to change the list of mailboxes (pressing "c" plus "?", for instance), but I think at the moment there is no easy way (but maybe there is a not-so-easy way) to change the names in the folder browser (I suppose that would change mutt-patched tree). From the mutt wiki FAQ about display:
Here you can find the variables you can use to format it.
And in the mutt wiki FAQ about RemoteFolder says:
But I haven't had success, maybe somebody...
Another possibility, maybe would be with the @alias shortcut.
And, what seems to me to be the most definitive answer, there is a new enhancement ticket asking for, exactly, aliases for mailboxes. This ticket, even has an attachment that seems to fix the problem, but I haven't tested it (maybe I'll, but at the moment I haven't the time).
