Far as I know, someone just needs to write it.
This comes back to the paradigm that mutt was originally designed for:
as a mailbox viewer. IMAP support is really more of a "strap on"
feature, rather than a foundation upon which mutt bases its design.
From mutt's IMAP readme file:
IMAP in mutt should be considered beta quality. For the most part
it works well, but it is still not quite as stable or as
full-featured as some of the other drivers. I believe it is now
acceptable for daily use (and that's how I use it now, currently
against Cyrus 1.6.24 and previously against UW-IMAP 4.7 and 2000).
That was written back in 2001, and hasn't been updated since!
