FWIW I'm using mutt with NFS-mounted /var/mail (with nolock) and I haven't lost any mail so far. >Also, the mutt > FAQ says that I can get around this by configuring mutt using the > '--with-homespool' option, but I haven't figure out how to do this. They are referring to compile-time configuration. You'll need to get mutt source package and build it yourself.
