Huh? When using that, you'd still have to run a local mail client and a
POP server on the remote side. With mutt, you just use OpenSSH (or
PuTTY when using Windows) and that's it. You have to carry your key
around when allowing only key authentication, though.
But of course you are right in that you can tunnel almost everything
over SSH. Getting graphical mail clients over VNC using X11-forwarding
is quite easy to do, too. SSH makes a really great firewall
circumvention tool. Especially, but not only, if it's your own. :)
