If it doesn't run at all for nonroot, chmod a+x `which mutt`.
But I have a feeling that it's either something more like readonly user
mailboxes or only root having a ~/.muttrc (i.e. no /usr/local/etc/Muttrc).

More details on what the problem is would help, as well as the output of
"mutt -v".

The readonly mailbox problem is common in Red Hat, and shows symptoms like
87 thesis% ls -ld /var/spool/mail
drwxrwxr-x    2 root     mail         1024 Aug 10 21:56 /var/spool/mail/

and is fixed by configuring and compiling mutt with setgid support.
