This is mostly true for business related stuff.

I more or less divided home/hobby and business accounts, or let's say,
I don't get all that HTML/Calendar/Attachement stuff for my private
mail and there I use mutt, basically the same way you do, self hosted
IMAP, ssh into the machine running mutt. Every now and then I use
Thunderbird for accessing this, but seldomly.

At work with all those creepy stuff (we're not even allowed to send
plain text mail except for mailing lists requiring that) I currently
don't use mutt at all, but KMail, Thunderbird and the webmailer of
OpenExchange. It's not mutt, but I can live with that for the content
I get there.
