Ehhh? Switching from mutt to some how-to-beat-a-web-browser-to-be-a-MUA
"solution"? Sounds like a step backward.

If you want a GUI MUA I recomend sylpheed. It is very stable, even with
40000+ mails in a single folder and supports IMAP. Easy to compile, only
a few dependencies. (Mostly the basic GDK / GTK, no GNOME!) It also
integrates fine with GnuPG, a feature that kills web-mail "MUAs". And it
runs fine on a 200 MHz R4k4 Indigo2. Somthing I can't say about Mozilla
or Firefox.
