vpopmail is just that: Virtual POP MAIL. Granted you can get IMAP working with
either courier or with a patched version of wu, but it is not designed to have
local user accounts reading their mail through a shell program.
if you want to have virtual accounts, have your users get their mail via POP.
If you want them to be able to use mutt, build multiple boxes.

No, it doesn't work:
I mean, vpopmail uses correctly such a link, but it then writes new
messages as:
-rw------- vpopmail vchkpw file_name
so user can't read it by mutt, because he is no owner of his new
messages!
What a pity.... so please help me to have both, virtual and real post
accounts on my system with one real domain...
