supmua. https://github.com/sup-heliotrope/sup beats mutt hands down. groups emails by tags instead of folders. and it allows to open multiple views at once, keeping state in each. it also supports saved searches as a view. it's not actively maintained right now, but it is stable. i haven't had any problems yet. sup is the ancestor of the notmuch libraries which can be integrated into mutt. but i don't know how well that works. perhaps https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18483833 can shed some light on that. greetings, eMBee.
