I dont use mutt but I do know that pine does support maildir.
Not out of the box. The author of the underlying c-client support library refuses to add Maildir support. I cleaned up and rewrote the maildir driver once, like many people did before me and after me, but it will always be buggy unless the upstream author incorporates it into c-client proper. I tried, but I'm convinced it will never happen.
I did however look through the muttrc. Uhg. Anyway I see others on the net talking about it but I see no one showing how they did it. Mutt can use imap servers though and this may be a good solution. You could put here imap settings in the ~/.muttrc.
It couldn't be easier with mutt - you do not need to do anything special. Mutt autodetects the mailbox format. Point it to a mbox - it will work. Point it to a maildir directory - it will work. Etc. That's why there are no instructions on how to use maildirs - you don't need any.
