It works that way for me. I have all my mail in IMAP, and when I need
to save a mail to a local file I just use the regular save function,
type the beginning of the (local) path, and the rest is just using
tab-completion (or the browser, but I prefer completing in the
prompt). I havent tried, but I should think you can define both local
and IMAP folders as "mailboxes" at the same time, if you need to.
The only problems I can see are starting with local folders (I'm not
sure mutt connects correctly to IMAP in that case, but my inbox is in
IMAP) and the IMAP connection timing out if I stay in local mailboxes
for too long.
