Why are you doing that if you're then using IMAP for all your mailboxes?

Why not just read the Maildirs locally? That's how I prefer to do it
anyway.
try:
set spoolfile=~/Maildir/
unset move
set mbox_type=Maildir
set folder=~/Maildir/
# So that you can see folders named by Courier's Maildir++ scheme
set mask="^\\."
Alternately, there has been a patch posted to the list (a while back)
which lets mutt recognize the Maildir++ crap on its own.

If you want to store in a way that Courier can see it, do:
set postponed=+.postponed/
If you're reading the local files, I suggest building the dev version of
mutt, and installing the header-caching patch for Maildir - that will
speed things up.
If you are only accessing your mail via mutt, I'd suggest just putting
your other folders in ~/Mail/ or ~/mail/ as regular Maildirs (so
~/Mail/foo/ instead of ~/Maildir/.foo/). If you're using both, you might
want to look into setting up symlinks. I find the first way a lot easier
to think about / deal with.

Again, not really applicable if you're using IMAP. Pick one or the
other.

If you're reading them via IMAP, you'll need to change the syntax there.
