Those are used with mutt's internal "fetchmail" function (see '?'

You can use URL-paths instead when you specify folders on remote

Maybe MuttFaq / Headers can help you, with the "envelope" problem.
Some servers are more restrictive about it than others.

Also have a log at the syslog for mail -> /etc/syslog.conf
