yes, but you also need to learn a lot more software. while mutt
already has quite a learning curve, fetchmail may be easy, exim
moderate, but procmail (especially the debugging) can be quite a drag.
easier if you can just rely on mutt...
...and, once you used mutt and you are comfortable with it, you ain't
gonna switch ever ;)
