I was already suspicious that UW-IMAP could do what I wanted it to do, and now I'm even more suspicious that it will at least come close. Since all I really want is webmail + mutt, maybe what I need is a webmail client that works directly with the maildirs. I wonder if such a client exists... Thanks again!
