SOunds like mutt's using lstat instad of stat. Probably a mistake
in this instance.

What if you swap the symlink around:

        rm ML-MUTT-USERS
        mv .ML-MUTT-USERS ML-MUTT-USERS
        ln -s ML-MUTT-USERS .ML-MUTT-USERS

so that Courier (it was Courier, yes?) uses the symlink and mutt uses
the real directory.
