Do you leave the messages on the mailserver?
In that case, ensure your POP3-client keeps a list of message-ids (UIDL) and
only downloads messages that haven't been downloaded before.
Here is what the man page for fetchmail says about it:
***
-U | --uidl
(Keyword: uidl)
Force UIDL use (effective only with POP3). Force client-side
tracking of 'newness' of messages (UIDL stands for "unique ID listing" and is
described in RFC1939). Use with 'keep' to use a mailbox as a baby news drop
for a group
of users. The fact that seen messages are skipped is logged,
unless error logging is done through syslog while running in daemon mode.
Note that fetchmail may automatically enable this option depending on upstream
server capa-
bilities. Note also that this option may be removed and forced
enabled in a future fetchmail version. See also: --idfile.

I don't know if there is an equivalent for mutt as I don't use that.
