In recent days, I've managed to setup mutt, together with fetchmail, procmail, and mini_sendmail in my working environment.
Mutt is my favorite MUA, mail user agent, due to it's simplicity, speed and powerful configuration.
Fetchmail is used to grab mails from pop/imap server and deliver the mails to local directory.
Procmail is used to classify the mails received, based on very flexible regex based rules and actions which are script-able.
mini_sendmail is used as the MTA to contact the SMTP server, for sending email for mutt, if your system's sendmail is not configured as smart host.
