Man, that sounds pretty painful. mutt is so keyboard dependent and unless you had a physical keyboard on your Android device, the mutt folks would have to do a lot of interface work. I use mutt via SSH from my Droid 1 (phys keyboard). It's decent, but using vi on it is not a pleasant experience :) Probably getting it to just _build_ would be easier to tackle and could be run from some native terminal app. Interested to hear about it if you give it a shot.
