You need those libraries, but the packages are called :
libncurses5 5.2.20010318-3 Shared libraries for terminal handling
ncurses-base 5.2.20010318-3 Descriptions of common terminal types

If apt-get fails, find out why. In this case it is because you had
the wrong package names.
(BTW, mutt should depend on the necessary libraries and shield you
from needing to know the names of them)

Now you're in unchartered territory. If you install from the source,
it is up to you to ensure all dependencies are met and to give all the
proper configure options.

run "apt-cache show mutt | less". The non-US version has SSL support
in it, the other one doesn't (stupid legal issues). You'll also see
in the Depends: line that libncurses5 will be taken care of too.

You need the -dev package to get the headers.

Apparently the name of the package is "libssl-dev". Learn to use
apt-cache, it is your friend :-).
Just try the pre-packaged version of mutt. I've had no problems with
it (though I don't need SSL). If you really want to build it from
source, get 1.3.27 or you might get a seg fault :-).
