I use mutt purely in an IMAP client capacity even though the mailstore  
is actually on the localhost; once you figure out how to navigate the  
IMAP folder tree it works fine.

I've never done email filtering in mutt though, so I can't speak to  
that.  I use procmail instead, which is not nearly as enjoyable to  
configure as mutt, but works for server-side autofiltering into  
mailbox folders.
