You should try `header_cache`. It worked wonders when I was still using a HDD
and Maildir, reducing mailbox load times from ~4s to .5s for large maildirs.
Not sure how much of a difference this would make on a system that already has
SSD, but even then it's worth a try.
header_cache
Type: path
Default: “”
This variable points to the header cache database. If
pointing to a directory Mutt will contain a header cache database file per
folder, if pointing to a file that file
will be a single global header cache. By default it is unset so
no header caching will be used.
Header caching can greatly improve speed when opening POP, IMAP
MH or Maildir folders, see “caching” for details.
