(because knowing what day you tried it would be a security problem...)

Apache wants an HTTP CONNECT request; mutt doesn't send that.  So you
need to use some kind of proxy program that will generate the right
header.

Or, if you want this port to always be routed to the imap server, just
use a port-forwarder like simpleproxy.
