Is it? Then what is the trouble. Are you getting your mail from an ISP?
What are you using for that? AIUI icedove has all this "built-in" when
you click "get mail". Mutt does not[1]. You need to use either fetchmail, or
getmail for that. Then there is the filtering into different mailboxes,
where procmail, maildrop, or even in the MTA itself.

[1] Well OK, it has to a certain degree, but it seems the general
consensus is to use 3rd party apps.

Also mutt-users@mutt.org is a better list to discuss mutt issues.
I also recommend starting at http://www.mutt.org/

Then look at "abook", "urlview", "muttprint", "lbdb" ...

P.S. Stick with it, mutt is a great program and allows for powerful
macros/hooks.
