Run fetchmail as a daemon to poll the two pop servers rather than using
mutt's builtin pop support.

Would it be an idea to use fetchmail for local delivery ? IMHO it's simpler ;)

If you don't want to use fetchmail (I don't either) why can't the
macro you use to switch PO3 servers also change the password?
You can put the sequence ':set pop_pass=xx' in the macro.

If you just want to forget the password then ':unset pop_pass'
