How to grab mail

[Umesh Krishnaswamy]

Hi Folks,

How do I grab mail from a mail server using MUTT?

When I use POP, the mail is brought to my local mailbox
/var/mail/<username>. I would like it to be brought to my Inbox in the
home directory.

The second thing is that with POP, the mail is not deleted from the
server. Is there a configuration option to set deletion.

If MUTT users use something better than POP, I would be interested in
trying that out.

Thx.
Umesh.
