Yep, that's what I meant, too ... I never really tried it, so I am afraid I can't
be of any real help on the technical issues you described ...
But, IIRC, usually it is suggested that you don't use the "built-in" pop
capability but a program such as fetchmail instead. But then, using such a
program implies running a MTA such as sendmail or Postfix, so that fetchmail
retrieves your email from your ISP's POP server and then feeds it into the
delivery queue of your local MTA, which in turn must put it in your spool
file (where mutt will look for it). Or you can use procmail, which you can
"teach" how to filter your incoming email and then sort it into different
mailboxes.
I use Postfix together with fetchmail, and the setup was very easy (besides
one or two minor problems).
Let me know if I can be of any further help.
Cheers,
Manuel
