You tell mutt to poll mailboxes with the mailboxes directive in the
configuration file .muttrc:
For example mutt will check poll these mailboxes on my host for new
mail:
mailboxes {hendry at daidalos.pannuhuone.org/ssl}
mailboxes imaps://hendry@daidalos.pannuhuone.org/prazefarm
mailboxes imaps://hendry@daidalos.pannuhuone.org/rss

I use maildrop to filter the mail into respective mailboxes.
