Or use this setting in your .muttrc :

        set pop_delete

This will delete the messages on your pop server
as you retrieve them.

   Use fetchmail to download mails then ...
   
   and use this in your .fetchmailrc
   
   defaults
   forcecr
   poll your.pop.server.com with proto pop3
   user foo with password *****
   keep
   
   That is much better than using mutt's pop support
