I just do the web site. The manual is done the same way the rest of Mutt
is done. So if you want to submit a patch for this suggestion, feel free
;)
Not that I wouldn't take patches to the web site, but things aren't
normally done that way.

POP3 is mostly for getting your mail from a central "post office" server.
IMAP is a method for leaving all your mail on a central server and then
doing things like group/project folders, etc. I don't really use them
either so I don't know a whole lot (I used POP years ago but these days
prefer ssh to an always-online box from wherever I may be at the time).

Bind is used to bind a key to a defined function such as 'sync-folder'. To
"bind" a key to an arbitrary set of commands, use macro.
You don't really need push for what you want... push is mostly useful to do
things at startup or from hooks.
macro index ^x "D.<enter>"
should do you fine. Note you don't need the * either.
