This works with mutt and a suitable version of org-mairix (attached).
And a .emacs configuration (needs to be customized) like:
(require 'org-mairix)
(setq org-mairix-mutt-display-command "urxvt -title 'mairix search: %search%' -e mutt -f ~/mail/mairix -e \"push <display-message>\" &"
org-mairix-display-hook 'org-mairix-mutt-display-results)

;;

;; and your MUA together is to do (require 'org-mairix) in your
;; startup file. Everything can then be configured normally through
;; Emacs customisation.
