muttrc.5 presently reads:

       pop_checkinterval
              Type: number
              Default: 60

              This variable configures how often (in seconds) POP
              should  look for new mail.

And it wasn't clear to me that this applies only when connected to a
pop mailbox (with mutt -f pops://..., or any other mechanisms to do
the same thing).  Therefor I propose the following:

       pop_checkinterval
              Type: number
              Default: 60

              This variable configures how often (in seconds) to look
              for new mail when connected to a pop mailbox (with mutt
              -f pop:// or mutt -f pops://).

I thought that it would check the pop mail, as in "do what mutt does
when I press 'G'", when I open my /var/mail/pryzbyj by typing, at a
shell prompt, just 'mutt'.
