Check out the "differences" section: http://mutt-ng.berlios.de/

Basically, it looks almost exactly like mutt, unless you also use the
sidebar.  Beyond that, it includes some nifty patches, like the trash
folder patch, some improvements in temporary file creation and some
other things.  Their wiki page listed everything, but it just returns a
404 now.  Not sure what the problem is.  Overall, it is very nice.
