There are plenty on the Web, which your favourite Web search engine should be
able to find. You will also find various sample configuration files.

Yes, but it's probably better with BRLTTY, Speakup, or whatever your favourite
solution is at the console.

It works well with attachments.

A better setup is Fetchmail + Procmail + Mutt, i.e., use Fetchmail to retrieve
the mail from an IMAP or POP 3 server, then Procmail to filter it
automatically into various folders, then Mutt to read the folders. for a
Procmail tutorial see
http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/

Note that with procmail, you can filter spam, delete duplicate messages, etc.,
all entirely automatically as the mail arrives.

I started using Procmail in the mid 90s and I've never had to sort mail since
then.
