For this you need an "addressbook" which can be accessed remotely.
Unfortunatly "addressbook" from the debian Distribution does not
work remotly... and since some time I have tried to store my
addressbook on a password protected shttp Server and try to access
it via a BASH script.

The Debian version of "mutt" is compiled against TLS and not
OpenSSH. You should "apt-get source mutt" and change the options
before recompiling wirh "dpkg-buildpackage".
After this, you can user publickeys (on USB-Key ?) to access "courier".
