Nope.
mutt can pull down your POP mail; the download key is by default 'G'.
It doesn't know from multiple accounts, though, amongst other possible
pitfalls.
Once you have the mail in your folder (all dumped there in a pile), you
could use mbox-hooks and perhaps message-hooks to define where to save
the messages (like into their proper folders), but it would be tedious.
mutt is not meant to filter.

% locking and unlocking file.
Hmmm... I'm no procmail expert, but shouldn't you just pipe to procmail
instead of to formail? Just checking...
%
% Can the whole thing be done by invoking mutt and/procmail in command line?
If you got it working at all, you could probably create a push line that
feeds in the right keystrokes, but it's really not the way to go.
%
% I do not use fetchmail because the recent version requires the cryto libraries
% which make the whole thing big and slow.
What about going back to a previous version if you can't just configure
the crypto to off when you build it?
:-D
