Hi,
Debian uses a patch
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/mutt/mutt_1.5.21-6.2+deb7u3.diff.gz
that includes non-official support for compressed folders (starting at line
"debian/patches/features/compressed-folders" in referenced diff above).
Slackware does not include that patch, so no support for compressed folders.
You would need to include the patch and compile yourself in Slackware.
