  isn't it even more important for it to be a IMAP client? any other way
of working with email makes it a little bit more then MUA (or little bit
more then is neccessary).

  mail storage - separate tool (IMAP)
  mail filtering - separate tool (sieve, procmail)

  unix philosophy... as long as they all work together...

  IMO mutt is already trying too be too many things at once (granted,
they are all email related:-)
