As far as I know, both work. ^TO is special in procmail, but ^to: (as
a regexp) works too.

Like what?

Too many questions. I used fetchmail to pop mails before. It
supports a "keep" directive. You can pop and pop and pop, and still
all your mail will be left on the server. Delete the "keep" from your
config, and they'll be deleted when popped.

mutt doesn't call procmail. They're separate processes. In my case
(before), fetchmail pops from my ISP's Smarthost, that hands it to local
"Mail Delivery Agent" (procmail), and mutt picks it up from there once
it's delivered into ~mail.

procmail can sort incoming mails. mutt just looks for them
("mailboxes") once they arrive.
