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?
