mutt looks for .mh_sequences or .xmhcache to decide if the Mail is a MH mailbox
or not. You can just do 'touch .mh_sequences' in every mail folder you want to
access to be able to use mutt. 

Note that a mail read by mutt will not be detected by Sylpheed (it will still be
marked new by Sylpheed), and vice-versa.
