iiuc, mutt's internal pop is actually reading mail on the server somewhat
similar to imap, ie: you do not really have a local copy stored, ie: mutt
is not a MRA, but a mail reader/client.

I guess you could pipe the current email to procmail for local storage,
ie:
  | formail -ds procmail

this would use the procmail recipies and store mail accordingly.

But you can save or copy the current email to the file/directory of your
choice, also .....
