Mutt seems to me, to be only a mailreader. It doesn't download mail
unless you enable it to do this. I run fetchmail which downloads all my
mail and I run procmail to filter it for different groups. I also run
xbuffy or gbuffy. This reads the mailboxes and gives me the From:
Subject line of each mail for the boxes. So I only open up mutt when I
have new mail in the box, or mail I wish to look at.
