The general opinion on mutt seems to be:
 * a fantastic mailer, provided you like to use text-based clients
 * a terrible mailer for dealing with IMAPed mailboxes directly, use
   fetchmail instead.

Incidently, since you're using Maildir (I think), there is a program
called isync that will keep two copies of your mail folders in sync with
each other - if you ever want to maintain two copies of all your email
on separate computers.
