After a mail client retrieves a message from a server using POP, the server typically deletes its copy of the message. The messages you want are probably not on your server.

Automatically, when the messages are retrieved? Mutt won't do that for you; that's the job of a mail delivery agent (or "mail filter") such as procmail or maildrop. The good news is, you can tell procmail or maildrop to process messages that you have already received; you don't need to retrieve the messages from your POP server.
