No it would not since you have to setup:

set folder=imaps://localhost

mailboxes =INBOX \
=INBOX.IN-debian-user \
...

You need to creatre a small BASH/Perl/Python/Whatelse-Script
to generate the list.

And then, poll the mailboxes under IMAP take 100 times longer
then polling a Maildir directly local.

Yes, but you should not use more then 50 "mailboxes" to poll.
Oterwise you can give you a shoot while mutt is checking the Mailboxes for
new messages.

I have 5800 Mailfolder and must check 180 of them permanently...
Now I run 6 instances of mutt parallel with different "mailboxes" settings.
