At any rate, you should probably set some sort of inbox in mutt. I have my own page on mutt, that some folks find useful. http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/mutt.html Note that it's basically for mutt 1.5, and I think CentOS may still use mutt 1.4 (Though KB Singh had a 1.5 rpm, IIRC--in my case, I wound up building from source.) Not sure how fetchmail works these days--with getmail, I hand it off to maildrop to do the sorting, but it also offers the option of just putting everything into /var/spool/mail or elsewhere. Regardless, mutt usually offers to create a $HOME/Mail directory, but will also look in /var/spool/mail. Hit c as in change directory, and it will move around various places. There is, if you're more comfortable with Pine, alpine, which I believe is pretty much the same thing.
