I do this and it works pretty well. The biggest downside from the mutt perspective is latency -- especially when using imaps to talk to Google (which of course you're doing, right??). I've found using stunnel as a shim to talk imaps to Google and provide regular imap locally to mutt helps things feel a little "quicker". Have also considered writing a Python script to pre-populate the mutt header cache periodically so that when you load up mutt you aren't sitting there waiting for it to read through a large number of new messages' headers.
