Now that's the best hint I've got about the problem for a long time, since it solves the problem. How come that I haven't read about "managed mounts" before ? I do remember that they have been mentioned earlier but I've never realised what advantages they have. Now I'm able to run a mutt-1.5.2 compiled OOTB (mutt-1.5.5.1i still has problems) with Maildir. I've mounted ~/mail using $ mount -f -s -b -o managed "d:/tmp/mail" "/home/of/mail" and it works flawlessly with mutt/Maildir. Further I'm able to backup the directory file by file using d:/tmp/mail to a network share. Many thanks to all who have contributed to this solution.
