Is mutt secure enough?

[Mutt-user <mutt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I like to use imap and not with fetchmail for offline viewing later, so I
use imaps://username:password@xxxxxxxxxx to access my server with imap.
But I'm paranoid, doesn't using this is a security risk? typing this in a
single line command, goes as it is thru my isp server/proxy, isn't it? So,
the password goes up to the isp as cleartext right? Correct me if I'm
wrong.

Thanks and Regards
