You can, actually. The relevant settings are (from 'man muttrc') :
pop_authenticators
pop_auth_try_all
pop_checkinterval
pop_delete
pop_host
pop_last
pop_reconnect
pop_user
pop_pass

Still, I agree that it is better to use fetchmail to "fetch" and hand
the mail off to your local MTA (exim) which will then deliver the mail
(either use exim's filter file or procmail) and then use mutt to read
the folder.
