Depends on when you want it sorted.  Mutt does have the capability to
save read mails to certain folders automagically,  but that is after it
has already been delivered to your spool file.

If you want them sorted before you read them, then you will need
software such as procmail.  You set up a recipe, and fetchmail sends the
mail to procmail to sort it into the appropriate mailbox depending on
content.
There are others, but procmail is what i use with fetchmail,  and it
seems to work well for me.  The one thing that I have found is that
Mutt's own getmail function doesn't send it thru procmail.  Don't know
how to change that, so I simply set up a macro to run fetchmail.  8o)
