Certainly. I have to dial up to the Internet myself. Fetchmail is
configured to only poll POP servers when I am actively connected, and
while I don't have it configured that way, it can be told to skip
messages that are beyond a certain size. Thus, the desired behavior can
be easily automated with fetchmail.
That's really the main reason that Mutt's POP3 support is so lame:
Because fetchmail does it better, so there's no point in doing all the
work to improve Mutt's support.
