I'd like to install a small imap server to read my mail when I'm not
at home, but this must be compatible with mutt direct reading of my
mailboxes (and procmail-filtering).
Do someone have some suggestion on which imap server to use ?

UW IMAP will do what you want, you can just leave your mail in mbox
format and all will work OK.
Cyrus won't be any good at all I don't think as it stores the mail in
its own internal format.
Courier will work but you'll have to convert to maildir and live with
the odd '.' delimited pseudo-folders.
Or you could of course use mutt via IMAP locally as well as remotely
and then any old IMAP server will do.
Personally I'd go for UW-Imap as it doesn't require any change to your
existing mailboxes.

I got an answer by mail before I had chance to check the news, and
installed dovecot, which performs the task quite nicely... Thanks all
for the informations.

I run my own imap server for exactly the same reason, and I've had good
luck with UW imap. The version I have comes as a tar called
imap-2002e.tar.Z and also provides a pop server. There might well be a
newer version by now. In osx I was never able to get it to build with
ssl, but that issue is specific to osx I'm pretty sure and in any case
is easy enough to deal with via stunnel.

And in fact there is: the current release appears to be 2004a. It's
available from many places, including
http://mirrors.mix5.com/imap/
which also has older versions and a nice set of mail-related RFCs

I use dovecot which is small very easy to configure (I edited only 14
lines of the example configutration file). It can handle mbox and
maildir format and can provide POP3 and/or IMAP access (SSL optional).
