I don't use Mutt that often. This is my .muttrc. This seems to be the minimal that I need to get it working. For more documentation go to the Mutt documentation.

set mbox_type=maildir
set editor="vim"
# I like to see all my mail headers in my editor:
set edit_headers=yes
# don't wait for sendmail to finish (this runs sendmail in the background)
set sendmail_wait=-1
# this prevents Mutt from endlessly asking when you quit:
#     "Move read messages to ~/mbox? ([no]/yes):"
set move=no
# this prevents Mutt from endlessly asking:
#     "~/Mail does not exist. Create it? ([yes]/no):"
set folder=""
# if you use virtual mail hosts then Maildir might not
# be in the default location.
set spoolfile=~/Maildir/

# IMAP
# For IMAP connections use the following for folder and spoolfile.
# Note that the full mail username is "username@example.com" and
# the server name is "localhost". If you wanted to connect to a
# remote server the full URL might be something like:
#     imap://username@example.com@example.com
#set folder="imaps://username@example.com@localhost"
#set spoolfile="imaps://username@example.com@localhost/INBOX"
#set imap_pass="my_stupid_password"
#set certificate_file=".mutt_known_hosts"
