Personally I use offlineimap[1] with courier-imap over ssh, using
keychain[2] and ssh-agent. This avoids the password problem, avoids
mutt's very slow IMAP implementation, and avoids the insecurity.

Since offlineimap uses maildirs on the local side, I'm able to ignore
this implementation detail of courier-imap. :-)
