You can't.
If you can create crontab entries, you can create a cron job that runs
Mutt with some pushed keystrokes to execute the pop function. However
you might run into problems with not having a tty for Mutt from the cron
job, but if not, then there's nothing else to stop this from working.

Please replace or upgrade your higher ups and try again. :-)
