Sorry for my delay in following up, but I trust, from your later post,
that you were either able to convince said sysadmin to install it as
/usr/local/bin/mutt-1.3.22.1 or such or to install it in your home
tree, right?

It should have been just
./configure --prefix=$HOME/local
or some similar path. Even back in the pre-1.0 days configure was that
smart.
Happy to have helped :-)
