Hello,

I do not know if Mutt has a such option, but my solution for this type
of problem was (is) installing a local imap server. For instance
offlineimap. My Mutt only talks to offlineimap which synchonizes
regularly with the server. (therefore, I have a local copy of all my
emails).

Regards,

JC
