correct.  mutt access the defined (~/.muttrc) pop3 accounts when keyed
(default: G).

mailboxes 'pop://mail.somewhere.com
account-hook pop://you@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ 'set pop_user=you pop_pass=passwd'


but you may also use fetchmail from a macro in index/pager/browser:

<esc><g> in this case
macro   index   \eg     ":unset wait_key\n|fetchmail\n:unset wait_key\n" \
                                "Wake up fetchmail to check the email again"
macro   pager   \eg     ":unset wait_key\n|fetchmail\n:unset wait_key\n" \
                                "Wake up fetchmail to check the email again"
macro   browser \eg     ":unset wait_key\n|fetchmail\n:unset wait_key\n" \
                                "Wake up fetchmail to check the email again"
