Mutt does support IMAP, but it's a slow, incomplete implementation.

A fairly popular alternative is to instead use and IMAP mailbox-syncing
program (isync, mailsync, offlineimap, etc.) and read the mail locally
with mutt.  It's been a couple of years since I tried this approach
since I ended up going with gnus for reading IMAP mail, but some people
swear by it.
