I still don't understand what "/s/set/reset/" means in this context, or how I 
am meant to apply it.  :-/

Ah!  OK, my /vat/tmp/.mutt is permanent.  Not deleted at each reboot.  Adding 
the ~/.mutt/tmp/ made no odds (it would only be used for messages that I 
opened/modified/composed last time I ran mutt.

Yes, I'm fast coming to the same conclusion.  Accessing really large IMAP 
mailboxen online is no fun.  I thought that caching would make mutt at least 
as fast as Kmail, but it seems that this is not the case.  :-(

I'll give tokyo cabinet a try to see if it makes a difference.
