I use:
# Host 1
poll host1.domain1 protocoll pop3 usename someuser1 there is localuser1 \
here password somepasswd1
# Host 2
poll host2.domain2 protocoll pop3 username someuser2 there is \
localuser2 here password somepasswd2
This is to be sure sendmail will put it to right local users.
Maybe you want to check fetchmailconf. It provides a GUI to build your

You can use '!' as a shortcut for $spoolfile. It's normally a good idea
to make ! and ~/Mail/inbox mailboxes. So you can easily go there with
'c<tab>'.

Check your logs if you're lucky sendmail put them to some backupfile.

Since /var/spool/mail/$USERNAME is the default $spoolfile mutt should
look there first. If not set $spoolfile to this.
