That includes Maildir header caching as well, not just for IMAP. Maildir's are regarded by some as the better mail storage type, I tend to agree but I don't use a Maildir for my inbox, which symlinked from /var/mail/$user to ~/Mail/INBOX because I do use mail(1) a lot which is a brilliant program when you get the hang of it but it doesn't support Maildirs unfortunately. Procmail creates Maildirs for me in ~/Mail for my mailing list emails. Sorry for digressing slightly, just thought some additional info might be of some use to you. It's great that mutt allows for so many different options when reading, storing, sending, etc., ... which i why IMO it is the in my top 2 mailer programs.
