Hmmm... I haven't looked at howtos like that in years... You may want
to try the mutt wiki (http://wiki.mutt.org).
Essentially, you add something like this to your muttrc:
set spoolfile="pop3://user@server/"
set folder="pop3://user@server/"
set mbox="pop3://user@server/"
(assuming your mutt has been compiled with pop3 support turned on)

Not that I can think of. I guess it allows you to keep fetching email
without having mutt running (e.g. by using a cron job). And if your
mutt isn't compiled with pop3 support, that may be the only way to get
at your mail.
