if you look at mutt's manual you'll see that you need a particular
option for having it working with nfs. Here's a piece of my /etc/fstab:
sparc:/var/mail /var/mail nfs defaults,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,soft,nolock 0 0
You need to set nolock, otherwise mutt will open the mailbox only for
reading. It's a problem of nfs and its way of locking files.

PS: by the way... Here's my /etc/exports:
/var/mail 192.168.0.3/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash)
