You might try setting the $envelope_from variable. That could
help eliminate the error you are receiving from the mailserver.
In ~/.muttrc (or some file sourced by ~/.muttrc):
set envelope_from
Also, to delete messages aff the POP host after downloading them,
set the $pop_delete variable. In ~/.muttrc (or some file sourced
by ~/.muttrc):
set pop_delete
You might, however, be better served to not use Mutt's mail
retrieval functions and use a mail retrieval utility like
fetchmail instead. Personally, I find it more convenient and
useful, especially since it has more flexibility and can handle
multiple accounts, (although, with some clever hooks, I guess
Mutt could emulate some of the functionality.)
Good luck!
