..oh?  Try ' mutt pop://user:passwd@your.pop.server.at.your.isp ' ;-)

..mailfilter + fetchmail + procmail.  Set up fetchmail to 
"preconnect mailfilter" _before_ fetching the mail, as I guess 
you wanna weed out spam.  _After_ fetching mail, fetchmail hands 
it over to procmail, which drops it home to your 12 or whatever 
more mailboxes you have.  ;-)

..more details in the docs and in the recent backtraffic here,
search for "MS mail bombs" and "Spam".
