deb ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ experimental main non-free contrib

apt-get install -t experimental mutt-ng

As you are using one of my unofficial packages, you have first to
uninstall mutt-ng. Since we are using the snapshots, the versioning
of mutt-ng has changed. Actually 0.0+20050831-1 is in experimental,
which is in fact lower than 0.0.svn+r316-1. But anyway you can hack
your config: Create macros to toggle your spoolfile

i.e. from
spoolfile="~/Maildir/inbox"
to
spoolfile="imap://me@server:INBOX"

This should work in 0.0.svn+r316-1 either.
