Mutt can handle one pop account itself without fetchmail, pressing G
fetches mail from that pop account by default. Of course, you can
override this setting.

You have to define a macro
Something like this in your .muttrc should do
macro index G "!/usr/bin/fetchmail" "fetchmail"
But you should think about some other possibilities to start
fetchmail
- fetchmail has a daemon mode, with fetchmail -d 300 e.g., you can
force fetchmail to fetch mail every 300 seconds
- you could start it using cron
- if you do not want to start fetchmail periodically, but every
time you go online, you could call fetchmail from your system's
/etc/ppp/ip-up
