You _do_ have control over it -- you can fetch mail from it with POP and
then do whatever you like with the mail. Since you claim to have one
machine permanently connected anyway, Ron was suggesting that you could
use that machine as an IMAP server, and have it fetch the mail from your
POP account automatically.

Why use mutt? You can use Evolution with a server which is only
accessible by SSH -- I do it all the time. Look at the 'Use custom
command to connect to server' option on the Receiving Options setup
page, and try a command such as 'ssh %h exec imapd'. You don't need
direct access to IMAP or IMAPS ports on the server; you don't even need
an imapd to be running.
