You can set these up in muttrc:
set pop_host=servername
set pop_user=userid
set pop_pass=password (only if you don't want to be prompted)
Then you can use SHIFT-G to tell mutt to hit the pop server. The only
problem is mutt is not a mail delivery agent. It has to pass the outgoing
mail to some application. You also lose some mail parsing capability
( a la procmail ).
