Mutt can be compiled to support POP3. It mentions this
in the mutt manual in section 4.10. I think most people
use fetchmail though (including myself). Mutt also can
support IMAP.
There is a lot of discussion on the mutt newsgroup (comp.mail.mutt)
wrt a windows port. If I remember correctly you can get mutt to
work if you use the cygwin tools.
