I don't think so. I have mutt set up to periodically check my mbox
inbox, but I use a POP inbox only infrequently and I haven't tried
setting up mutt to check it automatically. From the descriptions in
the mutt manual and from my brief look at the source code, I would
expect pop_checkinterval and mail_check to behave similarly, but I
have not verified the behavior of pop_checkinterval myself, and I'm
not set up to test it at the moment.
I'm cc'ing the mutt-users list in case someone else might be able to
offer more insight.

Gary
