For IMAP you don't have to set an extra knob, however, you definitely
want IMAP header caching (WITH_MUTT_IMAP_HEADER_CACHE). For SMTP, you
need to set WITH_MUTT_SMTP. GPG doesn't need an extra knob too.

So to install with the above options set, use in mail/mutt-devel:
make -DWITH_MUTT_IMAP_HEADER_CACHE -DWITH_MUTT_SMTP install clean

See /usr/ports/mail/mutt-devel/Makefile for more options you can set.

BTW, i think the "stable" Mutt does not support IMAP at all, you'd
have to use an extra fetchmail or whatever. However, virtually
everyone wants to use mutt-devel anyway.

HTH,
