Certainly. mutt is a very good IMAP client, you can do some tricky
things with it like 

mutt -f imaps://you@yourserver.edu/~otheruser/somefolder/somemailbox
or even 
mutt -f imaps://you@yourserver.edu/~otheruser@somevirtualdomain.com/foo/bar/mbox

Of course if IMAP ACLs permit you. I have never seen another IMAP
client who could use such IMAP URIs.
