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.

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.
