It looks as though mutt isn't really all that good for
working with IMAP:

http://mutt.sourceforge.net/imap/

It's lame to have to type 'imap://hostname/folderName'
to change to folder 'folderName' on machine 'hostname'. I
think Thunderbird is probably better for this sort of thing.
Mutt would be fine if I were just downloading my mail over
IMAP via fetchmail, then moving it around on my local disk.
But if I want to leave it on the server, I think mutt's
probably not the way to go.
