Generally? No. Mutt doesn't do generic password management for
third-party applications; and even if it did, there's no sufficiently
generic method of providing the password to whatever command you
happen to be running.
I don't know much about MH's inc command, but presumably you can put
the password for it into a config file. If that's true, then you can
use gpg to encrypt that config file, and decrypt it as necessary, and
once you have that working, you can use gpg-agent to cache the gpg
decryption password. That's, admittedly, pretty roundabout, but I
can't think of a better way.
