Mutt will read mbox / maildir / mh mailboxes without any special
configuration. But if you want to read compressed folders,
you'll need to apply one of the compressed folder patches,
unless you are using a version which already has this patch
applied.

Patches aren't necessary to read or write to compressed mboxes,
just some .muttrc wizardry, gleaned from this very mailing list:


# Archive handling...

open-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -cd %f > %t"
close-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -c %t > %f"
append-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -c %t >> %f"

But you do know that these three hooks are introduced by the compressed folder patch?
