I actually have both set up.  I almost always ssh home and use pine but if 
I need to (ssh isn't available), I can get to my mail via Squirrelmail 
over ssl.  It's good because they both use the same folders (Sent in Pine 
is the same Sent I see in Squirrelmail)... the only downside is once I 
read my mail in squirrelmail, I need to restart pine (two IMAP clients 
accessing one mailbox simultaneously doesn't work well I guess so the 
mailbox gets closed on pine).  Not a big deal though.  Not sure about how 
Mutt stores its folders but you could check into it.
