Not really, or rather, depends.

Mutt isn't designed to download mail, use fetchmail etc for this, but it
does allow to view a remote pop box. fetchmail is fine.

As for sending mail, features are a bit lacking. The only 2 options are
1) use local sendmail to deliver (not necessarily desirable with
multiple pop accounts as the mail will then originate from your own
local machine, not from the pop account), and 2) pipe into a program.
I'd like to know too what is suitable to read email from stdin and send
it off via remote relay (i.e. a pop account).

I've also been looking at how to handle multiple pop boxes and sender
identities, but support for that in mutt is rather on the lousy side
(unless there are feature I haven't heard of yet).

Oh yes, in 1) above the mail will come from the pop account if the
local sendmail is setup to use that smart relay - hardly useful for
multiple pop accounts as one can't select on a per-mail basis which
smart relay sendmail is to use.
