This is more of a fetchmail question that Mutt question. I'll answer
the fetchmail part as best I can, but you really would be better off
asking this on a fetchmail list.

No idea, actually. :-( It's possibly lost.
When I've used fetchmail, I've used something like
"server pop.a.server user foo there is foo here"
and
"server pop.another.server user blah there is foo here"
That way I know for sure that the delivery is to my username locally.

The fetchmail log would be a good idea to check. You could also check
the sendmail log (assuming you used SMTP delivery).

The @ means it's a symlink, however it's only used when the name is
displayed, it's not *really* part of the name. It's just a visual
indication of the symlink.
If you specify your $spoolfile (incoming email folder) correctly, you can
use the ! shortcut for entering that folder. This Mutt variable
defaults to whatever is in the MAIL environment variable, so you may
actually want to set that outside of Mutt instead.
