You ask this question in the wrong mailing list, because this is not a
problem of the mail reader but the imap server. The imap server has to
parse the mailfolder and offers the mailreader a list of mails, so the
mailreader can order every single article.
If you want to access a compressed folder via imap, the imap server
needs to supply compressed folders support, so it can uncompress the
folder and interact with the mailreader as with normal folders.
I don't know whether there are imap servers supporting compressed
folders. If this is the case you may have to make sure, that the
compressed folders support in mutt is switched off, otherwise this
could result in problems (didn't check this).
